Repealed Statutes

Do you need to access the text of repealed statutes such as the Job Training Partnership Act? It can be useful for transitional issues or to determine what laws were in affect at the time of an action. There's a better way to access the JTPA full text on Westlaw by using the Public Laws file US-PL-OLD. Search using the Public Law number. In the instant case 97-300 and the citations field:

ci(97-300)

You will retrieve one document, which is the text of the act as passed in 1982. For amendments, you can search using the Summary field:

su("job training partnership")

You will get five documents, all of which are public laws relating to JTPA and its amendments.
