Review

The EPIC FOIA litigation manual remains the one indispensable tool for any lawyer representing clients seeking information from a federal agency or any lawyer thinking about bringing a FOIA case against the government. The book is a comprehensive, thoughtful, and easy-to-follow guide to open government litigation and is invaluable to practitioners. --Professor David Vladeck, Georgetown University Law Center

Deserves a place in the library of everyone who is involved in, or thinking about, litigation under the Freedom of Information Act. --Steve Aftergood, Federation of American Scientists
