Note: To find the case number for cases filed before February 1, 1901, one can use the
Plaintiff-Defendant Database
available online through the Huntington Digital Library. This database
includes only case files that are physically located at the Huntington Library. A
significant number of case files have not survived and are not in the database. For the
case numbers of later case, one needs to consult the appropriate index volumes. Once one
has the case number, the case can be ordered for review through the Ahmanson Reading
Room.
