Courts - More on: "Sealed cases are too hidden, says Kentucky Chief Justice: Chief justice says names, docket numbers to be public"
Updating this ILB entry from Nov. 25, 2010, in this post Michael Stevens of the Kentucky Law Blog quotes a Nov. 26, 2010 Louisville Courier Journal editorial about the Journal's earlier story "that thousands of Kentucky court cases have been sealed over the past several years without the public even knowing the cases existed." A sample:
There may be reasons to seal some cases, but the state has no set rules on what they are — this has been left to judges' discretion — and that lack of clarity has led to a system in which some cases have been erased from public view and knowledge.
