Please repost and quote to your heart’s content (with attribution)

I am not a lawyer. I have been writing about the legal system for about 15 years. Mostly, I expose corrupt judges and attorneys.

In all this time, no one has sued me for copyright infringement for posting legal documents they generated. This makes me think reposting legal documents is fair game.

My blog is not monetized. It is useful in other ways. Feel free to repost and share my stories in any way you want. I just ask that you give attribution, and if you make changes, don’t represent the edited version as mine. Don’t be a Rudofsky and truncate sentences while keeping them in quotation marks.

When I checked my stats this morning, on my phone, there were 26 downloads of my filed appeal reply brief against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC. (By the time I walked upstairs to my computer, that number increased.) It struck me that a few days ago, maybe even weeks, there were exactly 26 downloads of a document.

That would be cool with me, if some law school professor was using my documents as a tool. I don’t care if it is to ridicule the pro se litigant or because the professor thinks the document is well written. It is my purpose to improve our world. If sharing my documents helps, get them out there.

Thank you.
