California Law Revision Commission Nice Old State Seal

-- October 6, 2000 --

Links to Adobe Acrobat versions of 1985 CLRC Meeting Materials

This catalog lists Minutes of Commission meetings and agendas in chronological order, and staff memorandums in numerical order. Each entry has a link to the Adobe Acrobat (pdf) version of the file.

Source: These materials have been scanned from copies of memorandums and Minutes on file in the Commission's office. Agendas are not included because we no longer have copies of them.

The complete Minutes Books were turned over to State Archives. A "Minutes Book" is a volume collecting the Minutes, Final Agenda, and all memorandums that were considered or set for consideration at a meeting. For the Ur-text, you should consult State Archives.

Disposition of Memos: Memos are not typically considered in numerical order. Memos set for consideration at one meeting may be considered at a later meeting because the time ran out, or may be continued over several meetings in the case of lengthy drafts. To track the Commission's consideration of a memo, you should find it on an agenda and check the corresponding Minutes to see whether it was considered. Unfortunately, since these are image files, you will not be able to perform a text search.

Exceptions: The files do not always include reproductions of items such as law review articles, bills, Commission background studies published elsewhere, and other materials that were not generated by the Commission staff. In some cases, however, memorandum exhibits composed of published materials have been included because the original would now be very difficult to find, such as a tentative draft of a Restatement article or uniform act provision. Incomplete files are indicated by "-Z" in the file name.

Omissions in the sequence of memo numbers are not mistakes. All gaps have been double-checked. They were either mistakenly skipped or reflect memos that were never written.

Quality: The scanning could have been done at a higher DPI level, but I adopted a compromise between resolution and file size that preserves legibility without too much sacrifice. Scanning was set at 200 dpi. Yellow and dark blue papers (on which some exhibits were reproduced in this era) presented problems -- yellow scans can be quite faded out, and blue are overly dark.
