Search Cases By Citation
The JuriSearch® search engine recognizes official citations only (California Supreme Court
Cases -- Cal.2d, Cal.3d, Cal.4th and California Appellate Cases -- Cal.App.2d, Cal.App.3d,
and Cal.App.4th). It does not search for parallel cites such as California Reporter or
Pacific Reporter.
- If you have the correct citation, type the
volume and page number in the appropriate boxes. For example, for Xuereb v. Marcus &
Millichap, Inc. (1992) 3 Cal.App.4th 1338, you would type 3 in the Vol. box and you would
type 1338 in the Page box.

- All databases are selected by default. To
search only one database, click on the database you want to search. Since the Xuereb case
is a Cal.App.4th case, we will select California 4th Series Cases. This database will
remain highlighted.
- Daily Opinions are not listed in this
database because Daily Opinions do not yet carry an official citation.
- If you do not have the correct citation or
if you only have an inside page, use another search method such as Party Name, Keyword
Search, Advanced Search or Natural Language Search. DO NOT search By Citation.
- Click on "Find It!"
- A new screen with your Search Results will
appear.

becomes significant when conducting a Keyword Search or Advanced Search.

Click Here to View Results.

two frames. In the left frame is a Table of Contents with your citation. In the right

- To return to the double screen with
citation in the left frame and the case in the right frame, click on Browse in the bottom
frame.
- To view the Table of Contents in full
screen, click on the Contents icon in the bottom frame.
- If you want to retrieve a California case
cited within the case you are reading, place your cursor directly on the citation and
click on the citation.

place the cursor on the Back arrow on your browser's toolbar, and you will return to your
