Sealing Divorce Complaints

The practice of sealing divorce COM
plants in Reno and treating them as
something sacred is upsetting the old
established presidents Of law and
custom.
The conte uiion that a divorce com.
plant is not a public document is not
to be considered for a moment.
If some Reno reporter wanted access
to such a document and was refused
he could ask the Supreme Court for a
writ of mandate and he would get it in
short order.
The Carson newspapers never pay
any attention to divorce proceedings
unless the parties in the case are very
prominent people. bu. this paper will
guarantee to make any official come
through with the documents in any
case, divorce or other wise. if they are
wanted for publication .-Carson Appeal
