Courthouse News filed a First Amendment action Tuesday against a group of Georgia court clerks who are withholding public access to new court pleadings at the time they come into the courthouse.
The action challenges a blackout of the new court pleadings that lasts hours or days. The result is stale news.
“Since time beyond memory, state and federal courts nationwide have provided timely access to newly filed, non-confidential, civil complaints, which occurred upon receipt of the new filing by the clerk,” said the complaint.
