The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will hear argument this Tuesday in Cause of Action Institute v. DOJ, a FOIA case that challenges the Department of Justice’s 2017 guidance on defining the term “record.” The government prevailed in district court, which concluded that DOJ may segment a single document into multiple, smaller records based on subject matter and then withhold any records that are non-responsive to the request.

Our very own Ryan Mulvey will be arguing the case on behalf of Cause of Action Institute. Listen live here at 9:30 A.M.
