Public access to legal information is extremely important in today’s rapidly changing legal environment. In recognition of the public’s need to know their legal rights and how statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial cases affect their lives, SCALL is pleased to present the sixth edition of Locating the Law: A Handbook for Non-Law Librarians, 2018. This publication is not a substitute for a detailed legal research guide or for the advice of a licensed attorney. Instead, Locating the Law is intended to provide basic information about California and federal legal materials: what they are, how they are organized, and how to find and use them. The sixth edition of Locating the Law is available free-of-charge on the SCALL Web site. For economic and environmental reasons, the publication is no longer produced in print format. Links are included throughout the publication, and Web site addresses are provided for most of the materials in a sources-cited section at the end of each chapter. Thus, an online version of the guide facilitates accessing the materials referenced because they are linked. As used in this handbook, Internet access generally means publicly, electronically available. When commercially available Internet services are described, they are identified as fee-based services. As a law librarian for over ten years, I have trained attorneys in the use of legal databases such as Westlaw and Lexis. In addition, I have taught legal research and writing to paralegal students for approximately fifteen years. I know the importance that basic information plays in enabling researchers to find the law. Locating the Law will continue to serve paralegals, law students, legal administrators, law firm support staff, attorneys and others as that foundational first stepping stone into what can be a confusing maze of materials. The editor and authors hope the sixth edition will continue to be an important resource for locating legal information. Readers with questions, comments, or suggestions for revisions may contact the PALI i Committee Chair, Elizabeth Caulfield. April 2018 Robert Rodriguez Research Librarian Los Angeles, CA ii Preface The Southern California Association of Law Libraries (SCALL) Committee on Public Access to Legal Information (PALI) presents the sixth edition of Locating of Law: A Handbook for Non-Law Librarians. Several substantive changes characterize the latest edition, which the Committee completed in August 2018. The Committee removed most of the subject-specific secondary source suggestions from Chapter 6: Bibliography of California Resources under the premise that most public libraries are unlikely to carry them. In place of those suggestions, the Committee substituted basic information about commonly used California secondary sources and ways to access them. Similarly, the guide no longer has a section on maintaining a print legal collection (formerly in Chapter 11: Legal Collections) under the theory that the average public library is more likely to rely on online legal resources rather than provide a print collection of legal titles. Chapter 8: Bibliography of Federal Law Resources has been replaced with a chapter called Citators, with the goal of informing readers about an essential legal research tool that should be part of every serious legal research plan. The Appendix on California county law libraries has been streamlined and now primarily consists of a list of the libraries and links to their Web sites. The Appendix on California law schools, which formerly listed each school’s contact information, now links to the identical information provided online by The State Bar of California. I would like to thank the PALI members and former members who contributed chapters and sections for the sixth edition: Joan Allen-Hart, Laura Cadra, Esther Eastman, Jennifer Lentz, David McFadden, Kara Noel Gelman, Robert Rodriguez, and Lisa Schultz. In addition, thanks to Suzie Shatarevyan who electronically assembled the publication and made it available online and to Diana Torti who provided instruction and guidance on using Adobe Acrobat. The Committee offers this edition of Locating the Law in the hopes that it will provide guidance to librarians who serve patrons seeking legal information and bring legal researchers closer to the information they need. October 2018 Elizabeth Caulfield Chair, Public Access to Legal Information Committee (2014-2018) Southern California Association of Law Libraries iii Acknowledgments The 2017-2018 Public Access to Legal Information (PALI) Committee is pleased to offer the sixth edition of Locating the Law: A Handbook for Non-Law Librarians. This edition brings the guide up-to-date since its last revision in 2011. It is not a radical change from the previous version; instead, it updates guidance deemed useful from the last publication and offers some new research suggestions and resources that may not have existed in 2011. Examples of new information include coverage of the California Legislative Information Web site in chapters 3, 5, and 6; a new chapter on citators (Chapter 8); and suggestions of free online resources that provide a starting point for learning about legal subjects, although those resources may be of a more general nature than the subscription sources used by legal practitioners. (See Chapter 3, specifically the section on Online Legal Resources.) Authors of the current guide are Joan Allen-Hart, Laura Cadra, Elizabeth Caulfield, Esther Eastman, Jennifer Lentz, David McFadden, Kara Noel Gelman, Robert Rodriguez, and Lisa Schultz. The following table provides specific credits.

June Kim, formerly at the UCLA School of Law, Hugh & Hazel Darling Law Library, chaired the PALI Committee and served as editor of this publication for the fifth edition (original and revised). After receiving a SCALL scholarship while in library school, June became an active member of SCALL.

The discovery of gold made California a turbulent and volatile state during the first decades of statehood. The presence of the precious ore transformed an essentially pastoral society into an active commercial and industrial society.

Helping to create order from veritable chaos was the California Supreme Court.

  • How Can California Increase the Diversity of the Legal Profession and the Judiciary?
    How Can California Increase the Diversity of the Legal Profession and the Judiciary? An Informational Hearing of the Assembly Committee on Judiciary and the Asian Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino Legislative Caucuses of the California Legislature Background Paper By the Staff of the Assembly Judiciary Committee I. Introduction A workforce that reflects the diversity of our society has been shown to not only be more fair by offering more opportunity for all, but also to be a more effective workforce. Diversity of the legal profession is especially important because it provides access to our justice system and our democratic institutions, as well. Unfortunately, the legal profession is consistently among the least diverse professions. Nationwide, a shocking 88 percent of the legal profession is white. In California, the legal profession and judiciary falls far short of adequately representing the demographic makeup of the state. Despite years of concerted effort to diversify the legal profession, little has changed. In order to achieve the goal to have California’s bench and bar reflect the diversity of our state and provide opportunity and justice for all, dramatic changes to state policies and priorities will be required. This paper looks at why such changes are needed, and which programs and policies appear to be most promising to address the issue. Section II of this paper discusses the importance of diversity for the legal profession; Part III discusses just how diverse the legal profession and the judiciary are today; Part IV explains the underlying causes of the lack of diversity; and Part V reviews existing programs to increase diversity.

Certain statements in this presentation and discussion are forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the potential or expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Thomson Reuters, its customers and the general economy, statements about the company’s third-quarter 2021 and full-year 2021-2023 outlook and other expectations regarding the future financial and operational performance of the company and its individual business segments, the company’s strategic priorities, initiatives and opportunities and the company’s expectations regarding its Change Program and share repurchases. While the company believes that it has a reasonable basis for making forward-looking statements in this presentation, they are not a guarantee of future performance or outcomes and there is no assurance that any of the events described in any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. Many of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions are beyond our company’s control and the effects of them can be difficult to predict. In particular, the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict.

(a) The People of the State of California find and declare all of the following: (1) Criminal activity has a serious impact on the citizens of California. The rights of victims of crime and their families in criminal prosecutions are a subject of grave statewide concern. (2) Victims of crime are entitled to have the criminal justice system view criminal acts as serious threats to the safety and welfare of the people of California.

California’s victims of crime are largely dependent upon the proper functioning of government, upon the criminal justice system and upon the expeditious enforcement of the rights of victims of crime described herein, in order to protect the public safety and to secure justice when the public safety has been compromised by criminal activity.

Essay Codification and the California Mentality by LEwIS GROSSMAN* Introduction: The Pomeroy Paradox On August 8, 1878, John Norton Pomeroy, the principal instruc- tor at the newly established Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, delivered the school's inaugural address. It was the culminating mo- ment of an exhilarating decade for California's legal profession. Six years earlier, in 1872, California had moved to the forefront of American legal reform by becoming one of the first states in the nation to codify its complete body of laws. The legislature had en- acted the California Code, which included new Civil, Criminal, and Political Codes, as well as a revised Code of Civil Procedure. Com- mittees of prominent attorneys had drafted the Code, basing it largely on the work of the illustrious New York jurist, David Dudley Field.' The centerpiece of the California Code was the Civil Code, which consolidated all of the state's statutory and common-law rules gov- erning private relations (corporations, property, torts, contracts, and domestic matters) into one meticulously arranged volume.2 Only * Associate, Covington & Burling, Washington, D.C.
