Pines Bach LLP Partner Christa Westerberg authored a chapter in the American Bar Association’s recent book, Ensuring an Informed Public: State Open Records and Meetings Laws.

According to the American Bar Association,

This book discusses and analyzes the features, concepts, and themes shared by state statutes, and it explores some of the variation among jurisdictions in both the statutes and the case law. Includes a breakdown of public records and open meetings requirements, plus a listing of statutes, constitutional provisions, and explanatory guides for each state’s public records and open meetings laws.

Attorney Westerberg contributed Chapter 3, on access to electronic and digital records.  She has litigated numerous public records and open meetings cases, including one regarding access to native versions of email messages.
