34. REQUEST FOR RECORDS UNDER THE COMMON LAW
    If, in addition to requesting records under OPRA, you are also requesting the government records under the common law, please check the box below. A public record under the common law is one required by law to be kept, or necessary to be kept in the discharge of a duty imposed by law, or directed by law to serve as a memorial and evidence of something written, said, or done, or a written memorial made by a public officer authorized to perform that function, or a writing filed in a public office. The elements essential to constitute a public record are that it be a written memorial, that it be made by a public officer, and that the officer be authorized by law to make it.
