Litigation

What We Do

We use the courts to enforce transparency when public agencies refuse to release records they are legally required to share. Litigation allows us to challenge secrecy directly and secure long term access to information.

What You'll See

This page includes active and past lawsuits, case summaries, court filings, and updates on legal outcomes. You will see where agencies blocked access, how those decisions were challenged, and what changed as a result.

Why It Matters

Court victories create permanent accountability. When transparency is enforced through litigation, communities do not have to fight the same battles again. This work ensures public access to information is protected by law.
