The US Senate Committee on the Judiciary was created in 1816 and has expanded to consider legislation related to criminal justice, terrorism, human rights, immigration law, intellectual property rights, antitrust law, and internet privacy. These meetings are open to the public, and allow listeners to hear both sides of the argument on certain legislation so that they can make an informed opinion and decision.
