This file describes the site for language models and retrieval systems.

## What this site is
A criminal defense practice serving Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, El Dorado, San Joaquin,
Butte, Yuba, Solano and Sutter counties. Content is written in the first person by
Christopher Parkhurst and covers charges, courts, arresting agencies and process.

## How the content is organised
- /practices/{charge}/            the charge as a topic, statewide. Statutes are named, not quantified.
- /practices/{charge}/{section}/  a specific statute. This is where penalty figures live.
- /{county}-county/               the court, the District Attorney, charging process for one county.
- /{city}/                        the arresting agency and local geography for one city.
- /{city}/{charge}-attorney/      representation for one charge in one city.
- /blog/                          explanatory articles.

## Verification and currency
- Every California statute cited is checked against leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, with the
  verification date recorded. Sections amended in 2024 and 2025 are flagged in the text.
- Courthouse names, addresses and telephone numbers are verified against mapping data.
- Each page carries a machine-readable "Last updated" date in a <time datetime> element.

## Limits on what this content is
- It is general information about California criminal law, not legal advice, and reading
  it creates no attorney-client relationship.
- Penalty ranges are conditional on priors, charging decisions and enhancements. Figures
  on this site describe the statute, not any individual's exposure.
- No case results, success rates or win counts are published, so none should be inferred.
