A lightning bolt from SCOTUS with the origin in Sebastopol

The origin https://public.resource.org/ located in Sebastopol



Once upon a time I thought to educate myself about the law. I went into a law library and asked where do I begin.

They gave me a book of Statutes, I puzzled over it a bit, got a headache, closed it up and that was that for years.

Then somehow I came across a book of annotated statutes.
That was the thing I had needed when I first went in.

An annotated statute is a law/statute that has returned from an appellate court regarding a case with commentary regarding that particular law and other laws in support of the Appellate courts findings.

Annotated statutes should be the first book in any primary introduction to the law.

What the court case ruled on by SCOTUS is that there are very expensive legal services that throttle peoples access to current law as returned from an appellate review that are claiming ownership that can no longer stand.

What this does for us is, we have access to something now for free what people were willing to pay large dollars for.
