Subject: Public Access Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 09:25:42 -0800 From: "William D. Young" To: citation@teo.uscourts.gov I am a member of the Oregon State Bar and an ALJ for a state agency. I strongly believe that the West monopoly should be broken and that the public should have access to the law in as unrestricted manner as possible. I am fortunate that my work requires frequent use of statutes, regulations and federal court cases. I use the internet, almost exclusively, for my research. Only when I must rely on printed sources do I go to a library. The work of all attorneys and the public's cost and interests would be enhanced with freely available access to all state and federal court records without payment. William D.
