How does a copy of a judgment enter into the judgment book?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Van Beurden Ins. Services, Inc. v. Customized Worldwide Weather Ins. Agency, Inc., 15 Cal.4th 51, 61 Cal.Rptr.2d 166, 931 P.2d 344 (Cal. 1997):
2 In Kings County, which does not maintain a "judgment book," the entry of a judgment occurs upon filing of the judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., 668.5; Filipescu v. California Housing Finance Agency (1995) 41 Cal.App.4th 738, 741, 48 Cal.Rptr.2d 736.) Thus, a file-stamped copy of the judgment gives notice of the date of its entry.
