FOIA News: D.C. Circuit to hear "FOIA record" argument on March 9th

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.
