Go the the county law library and look for the Annotated California Codes, either the Deering's or the West edition. Look under Penal Code section 591 and in the pocket part in the back. All published cases that have discussed section 591 will be listed in the annotation after the text of the statute. There is generally no way to find unpublished cases (except of you have access to Westlaw), and most cases are unpublished, but unpublished cases do not have the force of law.

My response:

Ohhhhh! Let's go back to first year of law school!

Remember to Sheppardize your cites, too!

Right about now, our writer is saying, "pocket part"? "Sheppardize"? What the hell are these people talking about?
