Subject: ABA Citation Resolution Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 12:26:31 -0800 From: "Roger D. Rines" To: citation@teo.uscourts.gov ABA Citation Resolution Suite 4-512 Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, Washington, DC 20544 Dear members of the U.S. Judicial Conference: I write to urge the United States Judicial Conference to adopt a public domain citation for judicial opinions. The purpose of the Courts must be service to the public. This can only be achieved when citations are listed as public domains. Costly impediments to public access to our courts by unnecessary monopolistic fees is clearly open extortion. Please get the bullies away from our court doors and give everyone equal access. I therefore urge the Judicial Conference to adopt a system of public domain citations to court opinions. Sincerely, Roger D. Rines San Jose, CA email: rdrines@pacbell.net
