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 18.65 n1  PC 653f Not Applicable To Crimes Added to PC 264.1, PC 288 or PC 289 After 1980. 

PC 653f(c) [soliciting commission of certain crimes] was added by Stats. 1979, ch. 944 § 9, effective January 1, 1980.  It incorporated those statutory provisions as they existed on January 1, 1980, and not as they were later amended.  For example, when PC 653f(c) was enacted, the reference to “any violation of PC 288(c)” referred only to lewd acts on a child under 14.  PC 288(c) was subsequently amended to include the crime of lewd acts on a child of 14 or 15 with a perpetrator at least 10 years older (Stats. 1988, ch. 1398, § 1.)  Thus, PC 653f is not applicable to crimes added to those sections after January 1, 1980.  [See Brief Bank # B-783 for additional briefing on this issue.]
