1. In this context, "positive law" means that a title has been enacted by Congress as a statute in itself, as opposed to a title being a synthesis of different statutory provisions without being a statute as title. Positive law titles are admissible in court, while non-positive titles are only admissible as prima facie evidence of the law in effect and in case of dispute the United States Statutes at Large govern.
