"The purpose of this new edition is to update the 8th edition, published by LexisNexis in 2006. Three points to highlight are: this edition is revised chapter by chapter; includes new contributors; and features new illustrations and appendices. This book is designed specifically for California legal research. It is not designed for a California lawyer who practices in Federal Courts or in other state jurisdictions. From the first edition this title has started out with a short overview of the legal research process and then carried that process into the different types of resources that are used in California research: constitutions, statutes, cases, regulations, local government sources, the attorney general, the state bar, law libraries, legal education, and all different types of secondary sources. The legal resources are addressed from both an historical and a current-use perspective. The resources are covered in their print and other alternative formats. The appendices have always given the user helpful bibliographies, charts, directories, and lists of governors, justices, law schools, law libraries, and vendors"-- Provided by publisher

Since California's formative years during the Gold Rush, its development has intertwined with its water law. Using the state's constitutional water policy and that policy's history as lenses, this book examines the many rules and doctrines that govern the use of what is often called the state's most precious resource. This book explains the many kinds of water rights, how they interact, how they can be modified and how they can be lost. It describes how environmental interests affect water rights' exercise and the continuing questions those interests raise. By describing not only the many relevant laws, but also the reasons for them, this book will help judges, students, attorneys and other professionals to understand both the what and the why of this important field.

"Connecticut Legal Research was written for legal researchers at various levels, including first-year law students, paralegals, and Connecticut practitioners. The book explains research skills and strategies with a focus on Connecticut sources. The book also includes instruction on legal writing and citations. In addition to chapters on secondary sources, statutes and legislation, case law, and administrative law, Connecticut Legal Research includes a chapter on insurance law research, reflecting Connecticut's role in the insurance industry. The book covers all major legal databases as well as free and low cost online legal research sources. The goal of the book is to provide researchers with the tools needed to access each authority both in print and online, and to provide researchers with the background information needed to develop a research plan that integrates effectively all research formats available.

"Since it was first published in 1991, 'Guide to California Planning' has served as the authoritative textbook on city and county planning practice throughout the state. The first book ever written that covers all aspects of planning in a single state, 'Guide to California Planning' is used as a textbook in virtually every college- and graduate-level planning program in California. In this revised and expanded sixth edition, William Fulton lays out planning laws and processes in detail and describes how planning really works in California -- how cities and counties and developers and citizen groups all interact with each other on a daily basis to shape California communities and the California landscape, for better and for worse. Significant new topics addressed in this edition include the state's increasing focus on housing production and planning for climate adaptation. Easy to read and understand, 'Guide to California Planning' is far more than a textbook. It's an ideal tool for planning professionals, members of allied professions in the planning and development fields, and citizen activists. Topics include : the history of urban panning and land use regulation in California ; the structure of planning decision-making and the players at the local, regional, state, and federal levels ; the basic tools, including General Plans, zoning ordinances, development codes, the Subdivision Map Act, and the California Environmental Quality Act ; advanced techniques, including exactions, growth management, Specific Plans, and development agreements ; important urban development topics such as economic development, climate change, sustainability, infill development, and property rights ; infrastructure and infrastructure finance ; natural resources protection"--Back cover
