Judicial Watch is the nation's leading expert in forcing the release of government documents into the public domain. In its first ten years, Judicial Watch filed more than 400 open records requests, leading to the release of millions of pages of government documents. In addition to educating the public about the activities of public officials, often these documents bolster Judicial Watch's litigation or point to new scandals that require investigation. The following are several examples of documents obtained by Judicial Watch, along with their relevance to Judicial Watch investigations and cases.
