Cal. Penal Code § 1138 — Conduct of the Jury After the Cause Is Submitted to Them is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
After the jury have retired for deliberation, if there be any disagreement between them as to the testimony, or if they desire to be informed on any point of law arising in the case, they must require the officer to conduct them into court. Upon being brought into court, the information required must be given in the presence of, or after notice to, the prosecuting attorney, and the defendant or his counsel, or after they have been called.
