Abstract

In the domain of print-based U.S. legal information, specialized tools that create connections between different categories of metadata increase legal research efficiency. Such tools, redesigned for the electronic sphere, could enhance digital legal information systems. This paper illustrates this kind of redesign, through a case study of one such tool---the Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, which connects regulations to the statutes that authorize them.
