43 U.S.C. § 57 — Authenticated copies or extracts from records as evidence

submitted 101 years ago by Congress to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 62 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets authenticated copies of old Oregon and California survey records serve as evidence in court. The Secretary of the Interior, or a designated officer, must sign and seal the copy. The copy then works as evidence anywhere the original would.

This section lets certified copies of old land-survey records be used as evidence in place of the originals. It covers plats, field notes, records, and other papers that came from the offices of the former surveyors general for the districts of Oregon and California. Any copy or extract from those records can be used as evidence anywhere the original document would be usable as evidence, but only if it's authenticated first, with the seal and signature of the Secretary of the Interior, or of an officer the Secretary designates for that purpose.
