You're also wrong about State Codes. They are PUBLIC laws, usually arranged logically, instead of chronologically, showing the accumulated amendments and omitting repealed provisions. If or when they are not, themselves, POSITIVE law (= the exact words of the legislature) then they still are prima facie evidence of the law and the only way to dispute them is to prove that the code section does not accurately reflect the statutes in force.
