I'm studying for the Bar exam and procrastinating on Tnet


May 30, 2012, 1:22 PM

AND talking about law makes me feel productive. I've seen a bunch of FOIA rallying cries and I wanted to let people know how to do it.

Anyone can do it. The point of the law is to make government more transparent, i.e. ANY SC citizen is entitled to access ANY document, etc. (within reason and not exempted) in POSSESSION of a public body.

Any arrest information on Mangus or other Gamecocks that have been disposed of would be more likely to be obtainable as they are unlikely to fit in the "prospective law enforcement" exemption.

You may have to pay the costs of copying, producing, inspecting, etc. the documents but that shouldn't be too much.

Here is the actual statute:

http://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t30c004.php

And here is a little FAQ for reporters to reference:

http://www.scpress.org/foia.html

Any Tnet lawyers who have actually PASSED the bar are welcome to chime in.

Good luck! GO TIGERS!!!

In that case nobody on TigerNet will ever hire you......

for legal work as none of us ever procrastinate on TigerNet.

We would want someone who has his nose to the grindstone at all times like we do.

Did you get your law degree in Columbia?

I hate to tell you but if that's the case the SC Bar Association will then set your hourly billing rate at $25/hour maximum.

it seems this would bhe a good place to chase down business. After all, when a gamecock gets arrested, this place is the first to know.

I know you would hate it but, you will lean more about the law on fgf. With all the criminals over there, you would most likely ACE the test after a few weeks of study at fgf.
