P.3d stands for Pacific Reporter, Third Series, a legal citation abbreviation.

Fifteen western states' appellate decisions appear in this West reporter: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The third series began in 2000 after P.2d closed at volume 999.

Example: The Washington Supreme Court's opinion is cited to both Wash. 2d and P.3d in the table of authorities.

Usage notes

The Pacific Reporter began in 1883, and P.2d covered 1931 to 2000. California Supreme Court opinions appear in P.3d, but most California Court of Appeal opinions appear only in the California Reporter. Colorado and Oklahoma use public-domain citations, such as "2015 CO 12", in addition to P.3d.
