Narrative:
North of lax we were cleared for visual runway 24R lax. While on base I checked final for traffic. While doing so I overshot final for runway 24R and crossed final for runway 25R. I realized my error immediately and corrected back for final runway 24R. Captain was busy with checklist so missed my error. The overshoot could have been avoided by a 'shallower intercept angle.'
