PA court broadens exemption by blocking email release

Harrisburg, PA This past week a three member panel of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled that the records of ancillary court employees are exempt from records requests under the same exemption as the courts themselves. The ruling will broaden the exemption of the court system if it survives the appeal to higher courts by the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records.^[1]
