The firm's clients, Justia, Inc. and Public.Resource.Org, represented by Karl Olson, won a major victory for public access to the law on June 19, 2008, when the state of Oregon Legislative Counsel Committee retreated from its 55-year-old position that it had a copyright interest in its presentation of the Oregon Revised Statutes.
