Coverage takes in court rulings and their procedural history, constitutional challenges, new statutes and the administrative rules that follow from them. Because major cities data is absent from this row, the statewide scope anchors the reporting rather than a city list. State appellate decisions often set the terms that trial courts work within for years, and that upstream effect is part of what this coverage follows. Sentencing policy and ballot-measure litigation generate more durable stories than single-term legislative debates.
