The company's Code Department publishes Codes of Ordinances, which requires the original codification, recodification, or republication of a municipality’s local legislation. Staff attorneys within this department (also known as "code attorneys") have the overall responsibility of supervising each publication project. A code attorney reviews the local legislation, organizes the individual pieces of legislation into logical classifications, and then performs a legal review of that legislation, involving an analysis of the municipality's legislation compared to state statutes, court decisions, and federal law. The code attorney points out any inconsistencies between the municipality’s legislation and the statutes or case law, and makes recommendations to a municipal attorney regarding how to cure any defects found in the local legislation. When the new language is approved by the municipality, the code attorney releases the project to a team of editors and proofreaders.
The MCC Online Library
http://www.municode.com contains a publicly accessible collection of over 1700 Codes of Ordinances that the company has published for local governments in 46 states.
