Practice Guides


Practice guides are in-depth resources that provide step-by-step procedures, interpretations and analyses of the law, and sample pleadings and transaction forms. Practice Guides are well-written and well-organized, and can give you a good understanding of procedural and substantive law, as well as the hands-on instructions necessary to file and prosecute your case. Most of the Library's California practice guides are published by the five publishers discussed below:

Continuing Education of the Bar (CEB)

Continuing Education of the Bar (CEB), an office of the California State Bar, publishes more than 100 Practice Guides on a variety of legal topics.

These forms are often available on accompanying CD-ROMs. CEB also publishes more than 50 Action Guides, which provide good step-by-step instructions and checklists for common actions. More than 90 of the Practice Guides and Action Guides are available electronically via the library's subscription to OnLAW. These titles are denoted with a red square ().
