OK, I am probably just completely ignorant here but what the hell does the ABA have to do with the question of access to the law? How are they in any way the body that decides whether or not and how our laws can be made accessible? Did we elect them, appoint them, or grant them authority over the people?
In other words, where the hell do they get off?
EDIT because I’m not done ranting. This really gets to me for some reason. Anyway, unless I’ve been misinformed, anything made by the government is by definition property of the people. Since our laws are created by the government and since case law is created by the courts which is part of our government, it should follow that all laws, case law, precedent, etc etc is a product of the government and belongs to the people of which this government is formed. That the ABA has a tiny part in the function of the courts does not, in my view, give them any special privileges or access to the law not afforded to every other citizen.
