Opis

For those who find themselves in a battle for public records, Access with Attitude: An Advocate's Guide to Freedom of Information in Ohio is an indispensable weapon. First Amendment lawyer David Marburger and investigative journalist Karl Idsvoog have written a simply worded, practical guide on how to take full advantage of Ohio's so-called Sunshine Laws.

Journalists, law firms, labor unions, private investigators, genealogists, realty companies, banks, insurers-anyone who regularly needs access to publicly held information-will find this comprehensive and contentious guide to be invaluable. Marburger, who drafted many of the provisions that Ohio adopted in its open records law, and coauthor Idsvoog have been fighting for broader access to public records their entire careers. They offer field-tested tips on how to avoid "no," and advise readers on legal strategies if their requests for information go unmet. Step by step, they show how to avoid delays and make the law work.

Whether you're a citizen, a nonprofit organization, a journalist, or an attorney going after public records, Access with Attitude is an essential resource.
