Free PACER access was actually considered, then pulled from the latest stimulus draft. Our push was to just make Q2 free, with an option for Q3 and Q4 if needed.
Left: current Muni Manager Dembowski's notice of 2-week leave = an informal email at 4:45 pm on Friday sent to 69 people.
Right: former Muni Manager Falsey's notice of 2-week leave = a formal Memorandum distributed through channels to everyone, with contact info.
If you're reading/sharing this important decision, you should know it cost $3 to download. Want to help change that? Contact @lisamurkowski@SenDanSullivan@repdonyoung & ask them to support the Open Courts Act of 2021 (S-2614) which will make fed court records free to the public
@jacobresneck If the citation was issued today, not uncommon for it to take a few days to show up on Courtview. That'll clear things up. (Initially thought the citation was issued in July, oops.)
The federal district court has ruled that Gov. Dunleavy and former COS Babcock unconstitutionally fired 2 former state employees: "Plaintiffs are entitled to judgment on their § 1983 claim for damages against Defendant Governor Dunleavy and Defendant Babcock" #aklaw
@jacobresneck Interesting. It doesn't appear a citation was issued. A citation for commercial fishing w/o crew license carries a mandatory court appearance and a max $3000 fine. (some citations are for "optional court appearances") - consult the Minor Offense Table: https://t.co/oNm6z1rvcr

@gavin_kentch@dirtyshill@tomhewittnews "Former lawyer" is the most accurate and easiest. If an EA wants to pen op-eds that say they're a lawyer, they should just pay the annual bar dues. It's not onerous.
@dirtyshill@gavin_kentch@tomhewittnews Can we all agree that an EA may not put out an advertisement, like on the side of a bus, saying "EA: Attorney at All." But that's essentially what the bio in the op-ed was. IF it was in connection with the representation of qualified legal services provider, it would be ok.
@gavin_kentch@tomhewittnews But it's narrow to the representation of a qualified legal services provider. So, there should never be a need for an EA to "publicly" hold oneself as lawyer, unless in connection with that representation.
Are you assuming that's the case with the op-ed? Seems like a stretch.
The State filed a lawsuit claiming ownership of the river beds underlying the South Fork and Middle Fork of the Koyukuk River, Bettles River, and Dietrich River. The State claims that the river beds are state lands under the Equal Footing Doctrine of the US Constitution. #aklaw
@gavin_kentch@tomhewittnews Unless the op-ed was in connection with services provided to a qualified legal services provider, which it doesn't appear to be.
@gavin_kentch@tomhewittnews An EA is an "inactive" attorney not "otherwise engaged in the practice of law," which means to "hold[] oneself out as an attorney or lawyer authorized to practice law." It's at best ambiguous whether Rule 43.2 allows an EA to hold themselves out as a lawyer w/o violating Rule 15
