SteveK October 21st, 2009
In the recent article published in New Jersey Municipalities magazine entitled ‘The Right to Privacy Versus the Right to Access Public Records,” Todd Ruback, Esq. discusses the recent decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court that provides guidance to local governments on how to balance a citizen’s right to privacy with requests for documents under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA). Mr. Ruback concludes that the Court may have created an implied right to privacy under the New Jersey State Constitution.
