This chapter discussed tools for finding and understanding made law. It described a variety of online and in person resources for researching constitutions, statutes, and regulations. What I found most interesting about this chapter was its discussion of how one should interpret certain types of law differently than others, e.g. read criminal law strictly. Moreover, I find it interesting that laws written with such complicated language—ostensibly to make them immune to misinterpretation—can still be understood in several different ways.
