Brenda Castello leads the New Mexico Compilation Commission (NMCC), a relatively unique agency that serves as the official publishing hub for the state’s legislation and caselaw. Although the agency was created in 1941, just this past spring the NMCC pushed out a major service to benefit the public – open, official, annotated statutes, appellate court decisions, court rules and forms, session laws, and Attorney General opinions, all available in a high-quality, easily accessible database, and not affiliated with a commercial publisher. Annotated statutes available for free, and published by a state agency, are nearly unheard of. Brenda’s approach has rapidly become the standard for how to implement free and open access to the law at all levels of government.
