Can a letter between the Attorney General and Attorney General be admitted as a public record?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Bufano v. City and County of San Francisco, 233 Cal.App.2d 61, 43 Cal.Rptr. 223 (Cal. App. 1965):
[233 Cal.App.2d 73] Even assuming, arguendo, that the letters could be considered public records, there was no sufficient foundation for their admission. They were not shown to be originals nor certified as copies by any legal custodian nor were they the type of documents made admissible by any specific statute (City of Los Angeles v. Watterson, 8 Cal.App.2d 331, 48 P.2d 87).
