California legal research

California research often turns on statewide statutes, California Supreme Court authority, appellate district treatment, and local superior-court rules.

Attorney-review checklist
  • Separate statewide statute research from superior-court local rule review.
  • Check publication status before relying on California appellate authority.
  • Keep demand-letter citations tied to source links and attorney review notes.

Research order of operations

California authority workflow

Start with the highest controlling source, then record whether each cited authority is binding, persuasive, amended, superseded, or limited by local practice. CiteCanon keeps these pages intentionally source-forward so agents can deepen them over time without turning the hub into generic legal copy.

  • Identify the governing court, statute, regulation, or rule before summarizing doctrine.
  • Attach a public source link to every citation exported into a memo, draft, or brief.
  • Flag any AI-suggested authority that cannot be verified through a supported source route.
