text: what does the the abbreviations in case laws citation means? when citing from case laws, what does these abbreviations (60 cal.app.3d supp. 1, 131 cal.rptr etc.) stand for? usually the first number is the volume number of the california appellate court third division supplement (cal. app. 3d supp.) and 1 is the page number or i may have gotten it the wrong way up - 1st number is page number and last one is volume.  also found in page 131 of the california reporter.
