The body of knowledge
What the California Endorsement covers
The endorsement covers five units. Two units are taught without examination.

How a complaint becomes an investigation and an investigation becomes a prosecution, who decides at each step, and where AI-related conduct enters that pipeline.
Examined
2
California professional responsibility for AI
The California Rules of Professional Conduct as they apply to AI use, read against the national duties taught in AGL United States so the divergences are visible.
Examined
3
The California AI statute stack
The state's accumulating AI legislation, taught as a map and a reading method.
Taught
4
California courts, including Rule of Court 10.430
