You can thank the Reagan administration for that. They gave the rights to all Federal court records to WestLaw. There was a small company (whose name I forget)

You can thank the Reagan administration for that. They gave the rights to all Federal court records to WestLaw. There was a small company (whose name I forget) who got shafted as DoJ gave everything to WestLaw. And if you file a case in federal courts, you have to use WestLaw's page numbering. Which you can only get if you subscribe to them. The semi-joke is that we have the best legal system that money can buy.
