Habeas Corpus Manual

FOR USE BY CALIFORNIA PRISONERS
November 2005

Your Responsibility When Using the Information Provided in the Habeas Corpus Manual:

When we wrote this Informational Material we did our best to give you useful and accurate information because we know that prisoners and their families and advocates often have difficulty obtaining legal information and we cannot provide specific advice to all who request it. The laws change frequently and are subject to differing interpretations. We do not always have the resources to make changes to this material every time the law changes. If you want legal advice backed by a guarantee, try to hire a lawyer to address your specific problem. If you use this pamphlet, it is your responsibility to make sure that the law has not changed and is applicable to your situation. Most of the materials you need should be available in the public law library. Prisoners should also be able to find these materials in the prison law libraries.

I AGREE
