     I am writing in favor of the proposed new citation system that 
would be in the public domain. I am a graduate student at the 
University of California at Berkeley. Though I rarely use legal 
materials myself, I think it is outrageous that a private firm (West 
Publishing) controls how cases are cited. As a student and taxpayer, 
I would welcome the increased access to legal information that a 
public domain citation system would bring.

Respectfully, submitted,
