It's important that the public maintains oversight over the courts to make sure they are applying the laws evenly and fairly. The best way to ensure that is to allow the public and the press to go to court and sit in on the proceedings. |
We oppose using a private confidentiality agreement to seal public court records. It's the reason we always do this -- to make sure the law is being applied fairly and that everyone is treated the same, whether they are a nurse or a TV mogul. |
