Welcome! Start your research by:
Jury Info | Superior Court of California | County of Tulare
The defendant's lawyer may choose to give an opening statement after the plaintiff or prosecutor rests, telling you what the defense expects the evidence to show. These statements of the lawyers are not evidence. Their purpose is to give you the framework of the case, the points of conflict, and the issues of the case to be decided by you. Be careful that you do not let any facts presented in the opening statements become evidence in your mind, because statements by the lawyers are not evidence.
You are not to consider as evidence any statement of counsel unless you are otherwise instructed by the court.
Evidence may be presented in the form of a written document or an object, such as a gun or an implement, a photograph, an x-ray, or some other tangible thing. These are called exhibits. Evidence may also consist of the testimony of witnesses under oath in the courtroom.
After all the evidence has been introduced, lawyers for each side may present their final summation, sometimes referred to as "argument."
The lawyers are entitled to present their views in summation with reasons and conclusions, but you are not bound by them and they are not evidence. You should listen to these summations carefully and consider them thoughtfully, but you must form your own opinion.
A juror should make no decision on any issue until all sides have been heard, the judge's instructions have been given, and the case discussed with all other jurors after having retired to the jury room for that purpose.
Judge's Instruction on the Law
Either before or after the final summation by the lawyers, the judge will instruct you on the law that applies to the case. You must apply that law to the facts, as you find them, in arriving at your verdict. You must consider all of the instructions and give them equal consideration, regardless of the order in which they are given. Whether some are applicable may depend upon the facts which you find to be true. Keep in mind that you must follow the law as the judge states it to you.

How to look up a court case | California Courts | Self Help Guide
You cannot find case information on this website. This Self-Help Guide only has legal information, not information about individual court cases. The county courts keep all court records. This page has general information about how to look up cases with the court.

Typically, the best first step is to look for information on the court's website
Go to the court's website where the case is filed. Most courts have a section on their website called "online services" or something similar. There you will find information about whether you can look up a court case online and what type of records you can see. Not all types of records are available online.
If the case information is not available online, you can contact the court clerk or go to the court to ask for information about the case. A clerk may be able to tell you basic information over the phone, like when a court date is scheduled or if something has been filed. 
To find a court website or contact information:
Find my court
Access to information about a case may be limited or restricted 
Some court records are not available online to protect privacy. For example, you can only find limited information about divorce or criminal cases on a court's website. Case records are available at the courthouse. California Rule of Court 2.503.
Some types of cases or records are confidential. For example, adoption records or cases in juvenile court are confidential. Only the parties in the case, their attorneys, or other people authorized to see the case will be able to get information about the case or see the court file. 
Access to eviction records is limited. Find out more in Code of Civil Procedure, section 1161.2.
