A magistrate judge denied Law Dork's request for online access to the docket in a significant refugee rights case in Minnesota. Law Dork's lawyers filed their objection on Tuesday.
Thank you. I’m a retired attorney from California and have no experience in Federal Courts. Your commentary is excellent. I access your links to the pleadings and orders. You educate me.
At least someone is keeping account of the acts of destruction that will shortly bring the destruction home inside the US, as all the new nations with reasons to retaliate will bring the violence home within US borders. What else can we expect or look forward to. The notion of bringing our citizens up to date with the most likely result of this uncalled for violence being issued back in return seems almost selfish to worry about what is likely to happen here, after the president has harmed so many, what else do the hometown citizens have to expect as the soon to materialize result. What does the president think he is accomplishing. Will no one here at home do anything? Move to halt this genocidal impulse.
I keep hoping for consequences for misuse, contempt, or delays by litigants in immigration cases. It appears that subjects are detained for extended periods, are transported far from family and legal representation sometimes resulting in life-changing consequences. Courts should not tolerate these actions.
I really want to say how much I appreciate what you are doing, and it does absolutely seem wrong to me. How can 'public access to terminals at courthouse' be considered having met their notification obligation, after all the wrongdoing noted (I assume) in the decision? I wish there was more I could do to help you guys with your mission, but I will at least share this on my page. I honestly don't understand the court's position here, except the fact that immigration judges work for the executive. (?)
I’m guessing the magistrate’s reasoning is that It costs money to enable public access, and the courts are poorly funded. Or the magistrate likes to say no to the general public.
I saw one of those in a 2005 case today - there are all sorts of abuses like that (a) non-precedential orders to violate equal protection in case they need it for someone they deem worthy (b) with the various case access for sale sites popping up one has a case the others don't. All of this ought to be free and provided by government they could hire the same people and instead of making world war.
Spent 40 years covering federal courts. Of course there should be public access. Your position is logical and legal. It is time federal courts were opened to cameras.
Chris, it seems that the journalist, Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores, who was detained in Nashville and sent to Louisiana, ought to qualify as a member of this class. Is that correct?
I am struck by your description and statement of all terms used in the filings. Boy do I wish I could speak the commanding attention used in laying out the full case and description of additions placed within filing itself the way you do Chris. I know by now it’s practically 6 and 7 to you, but I am bowled over. I’ll have to reread a few times to catch on to the flo.

And you’ve got great lawyers.
I appreciate all that you do.

I appreciate your work on this. Also, I love seeing "Law Dork" repeatedly referred to in a court filing. :)

Heros walk among us!
Bravo to you. Important work

All filings in all federal cases (unless subject to a protective order) should be available nationwide wide. Kind of ridiculous that they are not.
Good on the lawyers helping!
Do you think the magistrate is just being petty?
