  • Use Keyword searches instead of Key Numbers to find relevant cases in just a matter of seconds.
  • You can go directly to the paragraphs that contain your keywords without use of head notes.
  • Copy and paste quotes directly to your documents.
  • Use case citation to find case history.
  • Save valuable time, library space, and money.

The text of the published cases are organized in reverse chronological order with Supreme Court cases preceding Appellate Court cases. Slip opinions are appended to the end of the infobase. Our proprietary software searches each paragraph of each case from the beginning to the end (including footnotes and appendices).

The text of the codes are organized by code title and by section.

Jump Links
You don't need stacks of books to follow cited opinions. With CalDisc/DVD you get 'jump links' that instantly take you from the case you are in to the full text of each and every cited opinion, all with a keystroke or mouse click.
Official Reports Page Numbers
For accuracy and convenience the opinions, page numbers, and footnotes are the same as found in the official reports.
Instant Reverse Reference List.
Here's another valuable benefit. It works sort of like Shepards®. At the front of each opinion is a 'button', activated by a keystroke or mouse-click, that will instantly create a list of all opinions that cite the one you are currently in. It's a fantastic time-saver and CDs from other publishers don't have it.
