How absurd is this:&lt;p&gt;&quot;Pursuant to common law tradition, the courts of California have developed a large body of case law through the decisions of the Supreme Court of California and the California Courts of Appeal. The state supreme court&apos;s decisions are published in official reporters known as California Reports. The decisions of the Courts of Appeal are published in the California Appellate Reports.&lt;p&gt;The content of both reporters is compiled and edited by the California Reporter of Decisions. The Reporter maintains a contract with a private publisher (as allowed by Government Code Section 68903) who in turn is responsible for actually publishing and selling the official reporters. The current official publisher is LexisNexis.&quot; [0]&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_California&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_California&lt;/a&gt; [0]&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lexisnexis.com/clients/CACourts/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.lexisnexis.com/clients/CACourts/&lt;/a&gt; [1]</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Petition: require free access to publicly-funded research</title><url>https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/require-free-access-over-internet-scientific-journal-articles-arising-taxpayer-funded-research/wDX82FLQ</url></story>
