Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Cal. Civ. Pro. ?

Hello.

I am in pro per for a civil matter. I am filing a motion.

I am quoting a California Code of Civil Procedure.

I am trying to decide if I should reference the code as ''California Code of Civil Procedure Section .... '' or Cal. Civ. Pro. �.....''

Do they both mean the same thing are they considered different based on if it is literally typed our or abbreviate.

Just want to make sure before I make an error in my motion.

Thank you

Both are fine. I use CCP s.___.

That being said, you are at a huge disadvantage when you represent yourself.
