Subject: In Favor of Public Comain Citation System

To whom it may concern: 

     I want to register my strong preference for a vendor neutral, 
public domain system of citation of judicial opinions. I have read 
about and considered this issue for the past two or three years, and 
have concluded that it makes sense to establish a system of citation 
that encompasses all methods of opinion dissemination. To rely on a 
method that prefers the book over all other means of distribution is 
to close our eyes to current reality. 

     Thank you for your consideration.
