The following excerpt is from Malinda S., In re, 272 Cal.Rptr. 787, 51 Cal.3d 368, 795 P.2d 1244 (Cal. 1990):
The difficulty in interpreting the foregoing provisions is that neither explicitly creates an exception to the hearsay rule. Accordingly, we must construe those provisions to determine whether they implicitly create hearsay[51 Cal.3d 377] exceptions for social studies. (See Lungren v. Deukmejian (1988) 45 Cal.3d 727, 735, 248 Cal.Rptr. 115, 755 P.2d 299.)
