Note: This question and answer section
was
prepared in response to frequently asked
questions by
members and students in our various educational
programs. All language is taken directly
from the
California Civil Code. The outline format
differs from
formal English grammar outline because
the Code
mirrors annual changes in the law with
numerous
additions and deletions written by various
state
senators and assemblymembers.
Additional legal resources are listed
at the end of this
special section. |
