Seeking San Francisco area court cases

Maria Mend Dec 26, 2020 6:33 PM

Hello, I've found some information about trials on The Recorder (newspaper): date, Justice, a number (reference?) and surnames. I want to know how I can track down the original case records for those Court cases (all from San Francisco). I am living in Europe so the only tool I have to do my research is using the internet. I would really appreciate any information regarding this.

Hi Maria
Welcome to History Hub

You can contact the newspaper through the following website.
The Recorder (law.com)

You can search The Recorder Newspaper on newspapers.com for the years 1901 to 1934
It is a pay site, they do give a free trial.
The Recorder on Newspapers.com

Dear Ms. Mend,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

The location of any court records that may have been published in the San Francisco newspaper would depend on the date of the case and whether it was tried in a state court or a federal court. Please review NARA’s Judicial Records web page, the FamilySearch Research wiki for United States Court Records, and the inventory from the California State Archives Court Records Program.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
