Accessing the original opinions

Currently, the Index links to three different sources for the original language of each AG opinion. 

  • Attorney General Opinions Database (Washburn Law) [Index URLs that begin with "http://ksag"]
  • Published AG Opinions (Digitally available in the Kansas Government Information (KGI) Online Library)  [Index URLs that begin with "http://cdm"]
  • Kansas Library Laws Blogspot (Compiled by Central Kansas Library System) [Index URLs that begin with "http://kansaslibrarylaws"]

Using KGI Links

When accessing opinions through KGI, the page number on the index contains two identifiers. Which document to access (Doc #) and the page number of said document (p. ###) 

For example, the first identifier for the AG Opinion below refers to the third document in our KGI record, this is highlighted in green. The second identifier, in red, refers to which page of the PDF document the AG opinion is found.
