The Missouri Supreme Court ruled on three cases this week, including one against the governor s office regarding open records and a reversal of a Greene County Circuit Court decision.
The state s highest court will also have a new chief justice starting Thursday in Judge Paul C. Wilson, a graduate of Springfield s Drury University and Jefferson City native. Wilson will serve as chief justice until June 30, 2023.
In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that state agencies could not charge lawyers fees for time they spend reviewing public records that are requested under the Sunshine Law. The decision, a reversal of a lower court ruling, is a victory for advocates of transparency and public records access.
