Description
Split a statute reference and version at the last separator.
Case and statute records use identifiers, stages, time coordinates and supplied procedural assumptions. A literal comparison, count or charge calculation can help reconcile records, while actual rights, deadlines, evidence and duties depend on the applicable jurisdiction and authoritative documents.
Split a statute reference and version at the last separator.
When to use this tool
