EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 18, 2013, and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on May 16, 2013, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on July 23, 2013, and Amendment No. 3 thereto filed with the SEC on June 12, 2015 (as further amended by this Amendment No. 4, this “Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Daily Journal Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (“Daily Journal”). Mr. Guerin may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 188,299 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 13.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. ⁽¹⁾ Mr. Guerin exercises sole voting and investment power over these shares of Common Stock, which are held by the Guerin Family Trust and another trust for which Mr. Guerin is a trustee and a beneficiary.

ITEM 2 .

IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND .

Item 2 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to delete and replace the last sentence of the first paragraph thereof with the following :

The principal business address of Mr. Guerin, the Guerin Family Trust and the other trust is 355 South Grand Avenue, Suite 1710, Los Angeles, California, 90071.

ITEM 4 .

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION .

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows :

The information set forth in the Explanatory Note above is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item 4. The Common Stock held by the Guerin Family Trust and the other trust for which Mr. Guerin is a trustee and beneficiary is held for investment purposes. On January 17, 2018, Mr. Guerin filed a Form 144 with the SEC disclosing his intent to sell up to 5,000 shares of Common Stock in periodic broker transactions over the 90 day period following January 17, 2018. Subject to applicable securities laws and regulations, market conditions, and other factors, Mr. Guerin plans to sell such shares of Common Stock in varying increments in broker transactions made over the course of such period. Despite his current intentions, there can be no assurance that Mr. Guerin will take any such actions within that time period, however, and Mr. Guerin may make additional Form 144 filings from time to time with respect to the sale of such shares if they are not completed within such time period, or in the event that Mr. Guerin formulates a bona fide intent to engage in sales in excess of the 5,000 shares listed on his Form 144 transmitted to the SEC on January 17, 2018.

Mr. Guerin is a member of the board of directors of Daily Journal and, accordingly, Mr. Guerin may have influence over the corporate activity of Daily Journal, including activity which may relate to transactions or matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, Mr. Guerin does not have any present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of such transactions or matters.

ITEM 5.

	(b)	The information set forth in the Explanatory Note above is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item 5(b).
