Code Stack 104B and 105A Publication of cases, finding tools and updating The law library only has published cases available. This means that for California only cases appealed to the California appellate and supreme courts are in the library. We do not have case files or rulings from municipal and superior courts. To see unpublished cases, contact the clerk of the court of record. Published cases are opinion only, not briefs or arguments.
Digests are detailed subject indexes to law as defined in reported cases.
Digests are not authority. Then turn to the volume that contains your topic and key number. Under your section you will find summaries of cases. These summaries state points of law in cases. You will need to read the case to determine its value to your case.
