A friend pointed out this recent USA Supreme Court decision.

Exhibit A is titled
"The Location of the Fixed Offshore Boundary Between the United States and California that is Parallel to the Coastline of Mainland California."
It's over 100 pages long.
Anyone up for using Exhibit A to calculate the official length of the Pacific ocean-facing border of mainline California? I tried a quick and dirty import into Mathematica, but it failed.
