Statutes are laws written or codified by legislature. They are organized and numbered for reference. Statutes can be either criminal or civil. Typically, there are broad titles, for different broad areas of law (e.g. criminal or family). Each title would be divided into chapters, sections, or some other numbering system by topic. Each jurisdiction has it's own numbering system. For example, 19-6-11 may refer to title 19, chapter 6, section 11.
