Re: civil codes needed for research

Sounds like you need a lawyer. However, if you're just wanting to look up the cases, you can do so at a court or law school library--the librarian there can help you find the cases. Just be aware that time limits for filing answers will apply even if you don't have a lawyer, so if you're unsure how to proceed, consult with one.
