Transparency Made Easy: How to Make the Government More Open and Accountable.

Harlan Yu, a member of the Transparency Advisory Committee, speaks about the barriers to accessing public court records. Yu is the creator of RECAP, a Firefox plugin that gives free and easy public access to PACER, the federal court record database.

On June 22, 2010, the Advisory Committee on Transparency, a project of the Sunlight Foundation, met with congressional staffers for a focused conversation on issues related to contractor performance oversight, access to federal court records, and online access to Congressional Ethics Information.
