“Tear Down This Judicial Paywall” – Commentary Published in Wall Street Journal

The SCALES OKN team is elated that the Schwartz and Sanga commentary on the need to reform PACER’s paywall has been published in the Wall Street Journal. Sanga and Schwartz point out that the current cost of maintaining PACER is only 2% of the judiciary’s current budget, an amount that Congress could and should add to the judicial appropriation. For more analysis on the current cost of PACER filings and what it could theoretically cost to share that data see our previous blog post!
