Bringing Mississippi's Government into the Homes of its Citizens: The Mississippi College Law Library's Legislative History Project
Stephen Parks · SSRN Electronic Journal · 2013
In this age of information, legal professionals and ordinary people can use online sources to watch a presidential speech, sit in on congressional hearings, listen to audio tape of Supreme Court arguments, read a court opinion and otherwise engage in the legal process. Even state information is widely available from governor addresses, to the text of bills and to rulings by the Mississippi appellate courts. Access to government information helps the public to be more actively engaged in holding political leaders accountable and in establishing a more justice oriented society.
