Dear sir,

     I believe the courts should adopt a standard form of citation 
that would use the name of the case, the year, the court of 
jurisdiction, a sequential number for the opinion, and a paragraph 
number for the text.

     This information should be published by my government on the 
internet.

     Nothing else should be acceptable.

     West Publishing should not have a monopoly. I can not believe 
West has been doing this for years. This situation is disgraceful to 
a free country. 

     The federal courts should adopt the form of official citation 
for court decisions recommended by the ABA resolution.

     The benefits are so obvious, but I will state them anyway.

     1 Cheaper to the consumers of this information.

     2 Ordinary citizens care about access to court opinions. We 
need to see this information so we can obey the laws of the land.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   Timothy G Mooney
