Church of Scientology International v. Fishman and Geertz, No. CV 91-6426 (C.D. Cal.), is a primary legal record, confirmed against the case's own docket history. Its strength is that the declaration Steven Fishman filed on 9 April 1993, attaching advanced Scientology course material as exhibits, is how that material first reached a public court file, a documented and dated fact about the material's own provenance into the public record. Its limit is the ordinary one for a single court filing: it establishes when and how the material became public, not an independent assessment of its content or of the underlying dispute between the parties.
