Professor Anthony S. Niedwiecki authored article:
“We are undeniably in the middle of another big change in the way legal information is made available to lawyers. In an effort to save money and to make the judiciary even more accessible to the public, state courts around the country are changing how they publish their official opinions. Instead of assigning a publisher to be the official reporter of opinions, states are making them immediately available through court databases that are open and free to the public. In some states, courts are discontinuing their contracts with publishers and making court websites the main depository of legal opinions.”
