Q: How do I SEARCH a topic on this website?  
A: You can key in one of the words from the list below -- e.g. "foreclosure" or you can key in a word of your own choosing.  After typing it in, press ENTER and all documents relating to the topic will be called up in a master list.  Scan the list and click on the document you want.      

Q: I don't seem to be able to get access to some of the documents.
A: Many documents on the website are "public," meaning any visitor to the website can access them.  Some documents require that you register -- for free -- to read them.  Registration is helpful to the Center, because it lets us know which pages are visited most often and which need to be expanded. Finally, some pages are for people who  make a small donation to the Center and become Contributing Members.  Pages on small claims court and sample small claims suits are benefits of Contributing Membership. 

Q: I'm already registered, but I can't seem to log on.
A: You can log in on any page of the website using you email address and your password.  Sometimes the password "autofills," meaning it fills in the box for you.  When this happens, we suggest you erase the password and key it in yourself. 

Q: Can the website pages be translated into other languages?
A: Yes,  they can.  Just use the Google Translator at the bottom of the page you want translated.

Q: I registered as a Contributing Member, but I can't get into the Contributing Member pages.
A: Please give us at least 24 hours to process your contributing membership.  We'll process it as soon as we can.

Q: What are the possible topics/keywords I can use in the SEARCH box?
A: Below is a sample of the possible topics: remember, you can also key in other words of  your own choosing.  The SEARCH engine will search titles of documents, keywords, and also the text of all documents posted on the website.

Q: What if I don't find what I'm looking for?
A: Then send us an email: info@calhomelaw.org and we'll try to answer it as soon as we can.  Remember: we do not provide legal counsel in any form, but we do provide information, technical support, and referral services.
