Reverse Freedom of Information Act Litigation in a Non-Commercial Setting: The Case of Professor Doe

Authors

Lawrence A. Silver

Abstract

So complex are the questions of what the right of privacy is, and when and how it can be invoked, that special precautions must be taken to prevent an article dealing with it from drifting off into the fascinating but misty realms of metaphysical speculation. This Article will deal with an important issue raised but not answered by the Federal Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts: the rights of a private party who seeks to prevent the federal government from releasing information concerning him.
