Municipal Code Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Municipal Code Corporation (MCC) is a legal publishing company located in Tallahassee, Florida. The company bills itself as the "nation's leading codifier" of municipal ordinances.^[1]. Municipalities and counties throughout the nation contract with MCC to conduct legal reviews and to codify and publish their local ordinances. The legal reviews are undertaken by staff legal editors, who are all law school graduates, who consult with the municipal attorneys of the respective municipalities on their review of the ordinances for constitutionality, consistency with state law, and conflicts with other ordinances of the municipality. Codification is the formal organization of the municipal ordinances into a code book, which is then adopted by the municipal government as the official code of that municipality.

The company is headed by A. Lawton Langford, Esq., President and Chief Executive Officer. Rear Admiral Harold E. "Rick" Grant, Esq., USN (Ret.), is Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, and Diane Kyrus is Vice President of Codes.

Grant is the former chief Judge Advocate General of the Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy (JAG). Langford is the son of George Langford, Esq., the founder of the company, who himself was a founding member of the Seminole Boosters (a non-profit organization that supports FSU Athletics), and both are major financial supporters of Florida State Seminoles Athletics and of the University itself, and numerous other charitable and community organizations in the Tallahassee and Leon County, Florida areas.
