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.

F 304 Inst 1 Admissibility Of Co-Conspirator Statements: When Not Admissible Against All Co-Defendants (PC 182)

*Add to CC 304 when applicable:

However, you are not to consider the statement[s] of __________ <insert name of co-conspirator making statements>as evidence against __________ <insert name of co-defendant against whom the statements are inadmissible

Points and Authorities

When a co-conspirator’s statements are admissible against one defendant, and not another, CJ 6.24 and CJ 2.07 should be modified to clearly inform the jury that it may only consider the statements against the defendant against whom they are admissible. (EC 355.)

See also FORECITE F 103.4 Inst 2.

Identification Of Parties—See FORECITE F 100.2 Note 1.

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 7.4 [Juror Consideration Of Evidence For An Improper Purpose]

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 6.24a.


F 304 NOTES

F 304 Note 1 Limited Admissibility Instruction Must Be Requested

As with most limiting instructions, CC 304 should not be given unless it is requested. (See People v. Gallego (1990) 52 C3d 115, 175.)
