Essential to the rule of law is the public performance of the judicial
function. The public resolution of court cases and controversies
affords accountability, fosters public confidence, and
provides notice of the legal consequences of behaviors and
choices.
On occasion, however, there are good reasons for courts to
keep parts of some proceedings confidential. Courts will keep
confidential classified information, ongoing investigations,
trade secrets, and the identities of minors, for example.
The public in general and news media in particular have a
qualified right of access to court proceedings and records. This
right is rooted in the common law.1 The First Amendment also
confers on the public a qualified right of access. In 1980, the
Supreme Court held that the First Amendment right of access
to court proceedings includes the public’s right to attend criminal
trials.2 The Court suggested that a similar right extends to
civil trials, but they were not at issue in the case.3 Some courts
of appeals have held that the public’s First Amendment right of
access to court proceedings includes both criminal and civil
cases.4
