View this case - free  

Overview: County registrar of voters did not err in disqualifying signatures for a recall petition of all members of a school district board where signers' addresses had been filled in by someone other than the actual signer, which violated Elec. Code, §§ 100 and 11043, because it circumvented board members' right to be judged on their own individual merits.

View this case - free  

Overview: Removal of a public defender over defendant's objection violated the right to counsel of choice under Cal. Const., art.

Preserve Shorecliff Homeowners v. City of San Clemente, G038649, COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION THREE, January 16, 2008, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly allowed a referendum election to go forward.

(c), unconstitutionally restricted the pool of circulators to a tiny fraction of what it constitutionally should have been.
