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.

PG X(P)   Appeal: Remand.

PG X(P)(1)  Right To Peremptory Challenge Of Trial Judge Following Appeal And Remand For Resentencing. 

“A motion under [CCP 170.6(2)] may be made following reversal on appeal of a trial court’s decision, or following reversal on appeal of a trial court’s final judgment, if the trial judge in the prior proceeding is assigned to conduct a new trial on the matter.” (CCP 170.6(2).)  Peracchi v. Superior Court (2001) 94 CA4th 209 [114 CR2d 139], held that when the matter is remanded for procedures other than a new trial the proper approach is to focus on the function the judicial officer is to perform upon remand rather than simply the nature of the hearing at issue.  Such an approach requires a case-by-case analysis.  Hence, in a situation where the case is remanded for resentencing and the judge’s discretion is significant and will involve the presentation of evidence, the policy behind CCP 170.6 to avoid possible bias by a trial judge who has been reversed on appeal, is best served by interpreting “new trial” to encompass such a resentencing.


PG X(P)(2)  Remand With Instructions To Impose Judgment On Lesser Included Offense.
