Section 231v(a) through (c) belongs to which title of the United States Code?

• A. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(2) (2012).
• B. 45 U.S.C. § 231v(a)-(c) (Supp. 111 2015).
• C. I.R.C. § 2036(a) (2012).
• D. Ga. Code Ann. § 16-6-2(a) (2010).

Answer: (B)

Identifying which title a specific United States Code section belongs to. The U.S. Code is organized by titles that group related subjects, so the number before U.S.C. shows the broad area. Section 231v is a subsection within Title 45, which covers labor relations in the railroad and related industries (the Railway Labor Act context). Therefore the proper citation is 45 U.S.C. § 231v(a)-(c), with the appropriate supplement year. The other options point to different bodies of law—Title 28 U.S.C. concerns courts and jurisdiction, the Internal Revenue Code is Title 26, and a Georgia state code clearly isn’t a federal title.
