I objected last month (not for the first time) to the new rule, apparently parthenogenesized by the Genius Baristas who brought us DAWSON, that if one document in a case is sealed, each and every part of the whole case is sealed.

So what price Rule 27? If it’s obsolete, it should be stricken from the Court rules. If it still has force, to what extent? Must one surry on down to the stoned soul picnic in the locked-down Glasshouse, and bang fruitlessly on the doors? Can one phone in requests for the unsealed documents via the fitty-cent, three-buck cap?

Or will we go back to the old system, which worked well for years?
