Searching Tips

When searching Forecite California, there are shortcuts you can take to find the information you are looking for:

1. By Code Section:

Forecite uses standard abbreviations for different types of codes. Those abbreviations can be found below:

Codes:
CCR California Code of Regulations
Corp C Corporations Code
EC Evidence Code
FG Fish and Game Code
GC Government Code
HN Harbors & Navigation Code
HS Health & Safety Code
PC Penal Code
RT Revenue & Tax Code
VC Vehicle Code
WI Welfare & Institutions Code

Using these codes to search is very simple. For example, if you wanted to search for Penal Code section 20, you would type PC 20 into the search box.

2. By CALJIC Number:

Since Forecite is indexed to CALJIC, searching for CALJIC numbers is easy. For example, to search for CALJIC 3.16, you would type 3.16 into the search box.

3. By Case Name or Citation:

To find a case or citation, simply enter all or part of the case’s citation. Since many cases are known only by one name involved, it is often helpful to not search for the entire citation. For example, if you were searching for references to People v. Geiger (84) 35 C3d 510, 526 [199 CR 45], you could search for People v. Geiger or just Geiger. Searching for Geiger might be more helpful since it would find references to the case that do not include the full citation.

Points and Authorities

This Court Has The Power And Duty To Grant This Instruction Request—[See CALCRIM Motion Bank # CCM-001.]

“Bare” Requirement—People v. Massicot (2002) 97 CA4th 920, 932 held that indecent exposure under PC 314 requires the display of bare genitals. (The statutory term “private parts” refers to genitals.) (See id. at fn. 3; compare People v. Carbajal (2003) 114 CA4th 978 [visual observation of the exposed genitals is not an element of PC 314(1) but there must be circumstantial evidence that actual exposure occurred in the presence of other persons].)

WARNING! Federal constitutional claims may be lost without proper federalization.—To preserve federal claims, counsel should add the applicable constitutional provisions and authority to the above points and authorities and explain how those provisions will be violated under the circumstances of this case. Potential constitutional grounds for this request include, but are not limited to:

FORECITE CG 2.2 [Burden Of Proof: Elements And Essential Facts]
FORECITE
CG 4.1 [Right To Instruct The Jurors On Defense Theories]

In death penalty cases additional, federal claims should be added including, but not limited to, those in FORECITE CG 13.

CALJIC NOTE: See FORECITE F 10.38a.

F 1160 Note 2 Felony Indecent Exposure: Priors—Stipulation/ Bifurcation (PC 314.1)

See People v. Merkley (1996) 51 CA4th 472.

CALJIC NOTE: See FORECITE F 10.38 n1.


F 1160 Note 3 Indecent Exposure: Attempt Is Not A Felony (PC 314(1))

PC 314(1) provides that a second conviction for indecent exposure is a felony; however, because the statute fails to specifically provide that felony liability applies to attempted indecent exposure, an attempt conviction cannot be the basis for felony liability under PC 314(1). (People v. Finley (1994) 26 CA4th 454, 458.)

CALJIC NOTE: See FORECITE F 16.220 n1.


F 1160 Note 4 Sex Crimes: Entrapment

See FORECITE F 1000 Note 5.
