The New England First Amendment Coalition is continuing its freedom of information lessons with new classes on state courts.
The classes feature local attorneys, journalists and other experts who will explain how state courts in New England operate and how you can access proceedings and judicial documents.
This latest round of classes will be provided by NEFAC with support from the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation, SPJ New England, the Rhode Island Foundation and the New England Society of News Editors.
