Why are some cases confidential or sealed?
Most Superior Court cases are open to the public. However, a matter may have been sealed by a court order or is a confidential matter by the type of case, such as an adoption. Rules governing confidential or sealed cases and documents are very specific as to who may or may not have access. If you have a question in this area, contact the Clerk’s Office and you will be provided information regarding documents or cases that are restricted from access.
