Enforceability of rule 26(c) confidentiality orders and agreements
Article Abstract:
Protective orders and confidential agreements have been found to be constitutional in spite of a presumption that discovery-generated materials should be accessible by the public. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) defines what materials may be kept confidential. A comprehensive analysis, including factors to consider for protective order motions, court analysis of agreements, definition of gag order enforceability, violation remedies, and relevant rulemaking trends, is presented.
