The free guide allows users to cross-reference and compare the laws in different states or simply get an in-depth analysis of one state. A CD version of the entire guide and hard copies of each state’s section also can be ordered from the Reporters Committee for a small fee.
Each state’s outline is prepared by attorney volunteers who are experts in access law; most have worked on earlier editions of the guide.
United Kingdom: “The Sword and the Shield: The use of FOI by Parliamentarians and the Impact of FOI on Parliament.” The report by Ben Worthy and Gabrielle Bourke is posted on the University College London Constitution Unit website.
