So I just had a fun interaction with the Florida Board of Bar Examiners.
Me: Hi, I'd like to file a public records request. To whom should I direct it?
FBBE: We don't have to comply with public records requests.
Me: Can you cite to the statute that exempts you from providing public records?
FBBE: If you send us a request we will reply with the statute and explanation.
Me: OK, so can I have an email address to which I can send this request?
FBBE: We don't normally give out personal email addresses.
Me: I don't mean a personal email address, I mean a general email address.
FBBE: We only accept correspondence by mail or by fax.
I have filed public records requests using email or online forms with various Florida agencies before. This should not be difficult.
An additional note, because I see lots of comments saying the FBBE did this to a reporter -- I did not identify myself as a reporter, and I didn't specify what I was requesting. I just called and asked where I could send a formal public records request.
Anyway, I sent my first fax today in years. Email-to-fax is a marvelous thing.

This juror, who will remain anonymous, told me that all 10 jurors agreed early on that Craig Wright was liable for some of the IP moved from W&K to his own entities.
But they were split 8-2 in Wright's favor with regard to the bitcoins issue. Most did not believe Dave Kleiman was involved in developing or mining bitcoins.
We have a verdict. Or a hung jury. We've got something at least. Back in the courtroom, waiting for everyone to get here and figure out what's going on.
It's a verdict. Going to bring the jury in in a minute.
Before bringing in the jurors, Judge Bloom is again commending the attorneys who provided "superb representation" to their clients.
We've got a note from the jury. They want the "simple definition of unjust enrichment." That's in regards to questions 17-19 of the verdict form, so if they're going in order maybe they're getting close?
They specifically want the definition of the word "conferred" as it applies to unjust enrichment.
Good morning! Back in the courthouse for Kleiman v. Wright. We started a little early today and are planning to go late, as the parties try to wrap this up to hand the case to the jury tomorrow. Dr. Ami Klin, Wright's autism expert, is still being cross-examined on the stand.
Klin is saying that Wright is "overly literal." Also apparently Wright's favorite book is the OED.
We're on a 10-minute break, and now the attorneys are fighting over whether the plaintiffs can ask Klin to comment on some of the evidence in this case, namely emails in which Wright refers to Dave Kleiman as his business partner.
Dr. Ami Klin of the Marcus Autism Center in Georgia is on the stand now in Kleiman v. Wright, discussing his work in the autism field and his extensive evaluation of Craig Wright.
He said individuals with autism who also have high intellect often go undiagnosed, especially someone like Wright, who was in school 40 years ago, when people didn't know much about autism.
Klin said he was approached by Wright’s attorneys to evaluate Wright. He told them he doesn’t do expert witness work very frequently and that his opinion would go where the evidence went and would not just serve the case.
Back in the courtroom for Kleiman v. Wright. A doctor has been going through Dave Kleiman's medical records, explaining his medical issues. There were a lot. Kleiman had really bad pressure ulcers (aka bed sores) and couldn't sit or lay down for any extended period of time.
There were bacterial infections, hospitalizations. He was on painkillers. The reason this is being presented is that Wright has argued that Kleiman was too sick to have done any meaningful work on bitcoin.
In the records, nurses recorded that he was on the computer a lot and that he didn't elaborate on what he was doing, just said he was doing work. They also recorded that he watched movies on the laptop.
