California Administrative Decisions
Administrative decisions are similar to cases but are made by agencies rather than the courts.
There is no one location to find all California administrative decisions but these websites provide good starting points:

- Office of Administrative HearingsCalifornia agency that provides neutral, independent hearings for other agencies. Its website provides information on its procedures, as well as decisions on Development Services, Teacher Layoffs, and Special Education, plus summary information on Public Works Contract Arbitrations.
- Opinions of the Attorney GeneralOfficial opinions on California law by the California Attorney General. Although not legally binding, these opinions are accorded great weight by California courts.
