LegalZoom asks court to enforce public records request 
LegalZoom has filed a second lawsuit against the N.C. State Bar, this time asking the court to enforce the self-help legal website’s broad public records request seeking an array of internal documents from the Bar.
The California-based company initially requested the records in a Dec. 16 letter, and then sued after the bar did not comply with a Jan. 19 deadline. The suit alleges that the Bar is denying access to its public records. The request covers just about any document the Bar has pertaining to LegalZoom, along with information about the state agency’s members.
