Absolutely vital
It's utterly incredible that the federal government have managed to paywall the court filings that are meant to be publicly accessible. It made no sense ten years ago when I was in law school, and it makes even less sense now since the argument regarding costs is essentially spurious. We should be so lucky that when the state fails to provide ready access to the public the transparency required for the rule of law, we practitioners and even interested parties can step up. Keep writing your reps and senators, they can change this. Meanwhile, I shall keep RECAP on, for the record.
