California Court Decisions

A diagram of the state court system (called a “Court Structure Chart” and including a summary of each court’s jurisdiction) is available on the web site of the National Center for State Courts.

    These links to California appellate courts’ opinions point to the California Judicial Council’s web site, where opinions from the preceding 120 days are available.

    Appellate cases can be retrieved by either text-search or citation from a LexisNexis database spanning the entire collection of official California reports, starting in 1850. (However, even though LexisNexis is the official publisher of California reports, this database does not show pagination for the official reports.) To retrieve a case using an official citation (e.g., “14 Cal. 4th 627” or “51 Cal. App. 4th 1410”), select the “By Citation” option in the left-side menu on the “Search” page. To retrieve a case by any citation, including an unofficial citation (e.g., “34 Cal. Rptr. 3d 490” or “2005 Cal. App. LEXIS 1527”), select the “Advanced” option in the left-side menu, then in the “Search for Opinions by Terms & Connectors” field put the citation inside parentheses preceded by the word “CITES” — for example: CITES(34 Cal. Rptr. 3d 490) — without quotation marks.

    Published California Cases: 1934–Present ... [FindLaw (West Group)] — This database does show pagination but is limited to published California cases from 1934 to present. Registration is required but is free. (Unpublished cases from the courts of appeal are not available in this database, but they can be found in the LexisNexis database linked above.)
    ¶ Recent California Case-Law Developments ... [Witkin Legal Institute (Cal.)] — Brief analyses of selected recent California decisions. Several more-recent developments are linked on one page, and there is a short archive of some developments previously posted; all are organized by topic.

California Local Law Sources

These are charters (that is, organic laws — like constitutions — however denominated) and ordinances of counties and municipalities (cities, towns, etc.), which either are available on the county’s or municipality’s web site or can be freely accessed on the web site of a commercial publisher or other provider. For local laws not found through the links given here, try the county web sites and municipality web sites at “State and Local Government on the Net” by Piper Resources.

  1. Charters
     
    Note: A charter could be included in a collection of ordinances (see below) instead of being separately accessible. Also, counties and municipalities do not necessarily have charters; in fact, most (about 75 percent) do not. Those without charters are known as general-law counties and general-law cities. See a list of charter counties and a list of charter cities (not necessarily up-to-date).
  2. County Ordinances
     

  3. Note: Two sources for a county — one for “Code” and one for “Ordinances” — are shown in this list when uncodified ordinances are available at the second source. To access the web site of the on-line provider of a county’s ordinances, click on the button indexed to the name of the county (e.g., "<1>"). NOTE: On some web sites, selecting the state (and enabling JavaScript) will be necessary for access to the ordinances link.

  4. Municipal Ordinances
     

  5. Note: Two sources for a municipality — one for “Code” and one for “Ordinances” — are shown in this list when uncodified ordinances are available at the second source. To access the web site of the on-line provider of a municipality’s ordinances, click on the button indexed to the name of the municipality (e.g., "<1>"). NOTE: On some web sites, selecting the state (and enabling JavaScript) will be necessary for access to the ordinances link.
