Is the Tax Code the longest Title?

  Last week, I shared that Dan Katz and I had finally published a draft of our paper, Measuring the Complexity of the Law: The U.S. Code.  We'd previewed this research on Computational Legal Studies years ago.  Since then, we've received great feedback and a number of questions.   The most common question, even among legal professionals,
