in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Certain older published collections of U.S. laws and treaties count as legal proof in court. This includes the Little and Brown edition, official slip laws, and the Treaties and Other International Acts Series. Courts don't need any extra proof that they're authentic.

The following count as valid legal evidence — in every U.S. federal court, state court, territorial and insular court, and other U.S. tribunal or public office, without needing any further proof of authenticity — of the public and private Acts of Congress, treaties, other international agreements, and related presidential proclamations they contain: the edition of U.S. laws and treaties published by Little and Brown; the slip-law or pamphlet versions of U.S. laws issued under the authority of the Archivist of the United States; and the Treaties and Other International Acts Series issued under the authority of the Secretary of State.
