Judicial Watch is the preeminent public interest group specializing in government open records research and litigation. Judicial Watch launched its Open Records Project to share its expertise.

We can help in any step of the process:

• Determining what agencies have the information needed
• Defining requirements and composing document request strategy
• Making the request
• Reviewing information and providing analysis of document production
• Handling denials, exemptions and the appeal process
• Managing the court process
