Why this matter is tracked
Misrepresented: Legal Norm | According to father, “Welfare and Institutions Code § 350(b) states, ‘Except where otherwise provided by this code, the procedures for the trials or hearings shall be in accordance with that prescribed by law for civil cases.’ ” Section 350, subdivision (b) does not so provide, and we have been unable to verify the legal source for this quotation Outcome: Warning. " According to father, “Welfare and Institutions Code § 350(b) states, ‘Except where otherwise provided by this code, the procedures for the trials or hearings shall be in accordance with that prescribed by law for civil cases.’ ” Section 350, subdivision (b) does not so provide, and we have been unable to verify the legal source for this quotation.3 With respect to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1013, subdivision (a), the statute addresses service by mail, facsimile and electronic service, etc., and provides, in relevant part, for an additional 10 calendar days “if either the place of mailing or the place of address is outside the State of California but within the United States.” "Footnote 3 then reads:" Counsel is reminded that conduct of California attorneys is governed by the State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct. In particular, rule 3.3(a)(1) places a duty on counsel not to “knowingly make a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal...,” as does Business and Professions Code section 6068, subdivision (d). This duty is violated when counsel knowingly presents statutory authority to the court that does not exist. A person's “knowledge” under this rule may be inferred from the circumstances. (Rules Prof. Conduct, rule 1.0.1(f).) Moreover, the inclusion of nonexistent legal authority may also be considered a “matter [that is] not reasonably material to the appeal's determination.” (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.276(a)(2).) Failure to adhere to these standards of practice and rules may result in sanctions which themselves may be mandatorily reportable to the California State Bar. (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 6068, subd. (o)(3).) "
