Abstract
The right to access information is a historically fundamental right according to international legal norms. During an era of increasingly complex innovation and burgeoning digital legal information, the tension between access and barriers to easily accessible legal information like encryption and privacy have changed the landscape of open access. This article addresses the traditional international law facilitation of open access to legal information and current legislative efforts for protection of these norms. It also offers a matrix of international and national initiatives as model regimes for this important right to access information and, especially, preserving open access to legal information.
