Q: How do I locate information about a specific state case law that was based on my case in California Civil Court?
The court proceedings took place in Santa Cruz County 30+ years ago, involving child sexual abuse.
A:
more info needed.
however, if you google the case in Santa Cruz it would probably show the law that evolved from it.
A: If you know the name of the case you can look it up on the internet in "Find Law." However, you must know the exact name and date of the case (e.g. Jones v. smith, 1990), and the case citation (e.g. 24 California 145 at page 230).
A: Can't tell if you are looking for a published decision, or are trying to look up a court file. An attorney could probably find it for you, with some more information, if you are willing to pay for a little research.
