Summary: The Rules Committee
recommends revising California Rules of Court, rule 2.1050, to
express the council’s continued interest in both free public access to
the Judicial Council of California Civil Jury Instructions (CACI) and
the Judicial Council of California Criminal Jury Instructions (CALCRIM)
and having publishers accurately publish the instructions, properly
attribute the council as the source of the instructions, and not claim
copyright in them. This proposal originated with a suggestion from a
nonprofit organization following a change in copyright law that impacts
government bodies.
Deadline: Comments must be submitted by Friday, January 20, 2023 at, 5:00 PM (Pacific Time)
