About this product
Laws governing access to public records were adopted well before the computer became a pervasive part of the daily functioning of government and in an age when the defining line between government and private entities was more brightly defined. As reliance upon information technology continues to advance, public records laws have had to be construed to apply to circumstances far different from those in existence when statutes requiring public access were first enacted.
In this book, experienced lawyers from a variety of practice areas explore the impact of technology on access to public records laws, including:
The application of public records laws to electronic data
Implications of electronic documents within the context of discovery
The interplay between access to public records and litigants' right of discovery
The delicate balance between right of public access to electronic records and the right to personal privacy
E-mail and the determination of when this form of communication becomes a public record and the extent to which it is subject to public disclosure
Public records issues and the pitfalls that confront private entities doing business with state and local agencies
The relationship between traditional attorney work, client communication privileges, and public records laws
