Pennsylvania Local Legal Initiative

Attorneys from RCFP and Cornell Law School’s First Amendment Clinic have helped obtain settlements involving a prison medical contractor.

The court sided with arguments an RCFP attorney made on behalf of journalists seeking the office’s outside legal bills.

An RCFP attorney spent the past year helping local newspapers push for transparency in the case.

Helping newsrooms access settlement agreements is a priority for the Pennsylvania Local Legal Initiative.

RCFP attorneys represented journalist Brittany Hailer in her fight to access records concerning the death of a man in custody.
