St. Mary’s to study limits on info law
The Defense Department is sending St. Mary’s University School of Law $1 million to help fight terrorism by studying ways to limit the scope of the Freedom of Information Act, a landmark open government law that celebrated its 40th anniversary Tuesday.
Jeffrey Addicott, who heads the school’s Center for Terrorism Law, said the purpose of the yearlong project is to find ways to rewrite the law to prevent terrorists from getting sensitive information about water, sewer, electricity and transportation systems.
The project’s end product will be a “model” statute that state governments or Congress can adopt, he said.
