Documents

The Senate Judiciary Committee creates and processes hundreds of documents every Congress.  The documents created by the Committee vary from letters to various department heads, to important oversight letters and documents.  Other documents include Chairman's Rulings, subpoenas and subpoena authorizations.

These documents help internal staff and the public better understand the issues that face the Committee every day.  They contribute to the important legislative and oversight functions that are a major part of the Judiciary Committee's jurisdiction.
