Souter's papers

The New Hampshire Historical Society announced that retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter is donating his personal and professional papers to the society. But, Souter has placed an extraordinarily long restriction on public access to his papers, barring anyone -- researchers, historians, friends, journalists -- from viewing the material for 50 years. That's a lengthier seal than any justice has placed on papers in recent memory.  http://www.law.com/jsp/law/LawArticleFriendly.jsp?id=1202433362116
