Open court - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

�Open court� refers to judicial proceedings to which the public has access. Public access includes the ability to attend courtroom proceedings, as well as access to court records and transcripts. Where a case or part of a case may reveal sensitive or private information that should not be made public, the proceedings are held �in camera� (in the judge�s private chambers and out of the presence of the public). For example, in Connecticut, �court proceedings as to disclosure of confidential HIV-related information shall be conducted in camera unless the subject of the test agrees to a hearing in�open�court�or unless the court determines that a public hearing is necessary to the public interest and the proper administration of justice.�
