As reported here in the current issue of The Florida Bar News, internet company Avvo.com has announced that is has obtained the disciplinary records of all Florida attorneys through a public records request and will be adding that information to its lawyer rating site in the near future.
The article presents a fairly balanced discussion of the issue and there are points to be made on both sides of the question. Irrespective of how one may feel about this, it's further evidence that information has become a mere commodity -- and that many of the more "noble" arguments advanced on behalf of open government laws may have little to do with much of the very commercial nature of the modern information age.
