Nevada Supreme Court makes it tougher for judges to seal cases

The Nevada Supreme Court adopted new rules making it tougher for judges to seal civil cases, particularly those that would hide public hazards. The court took action following a special report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal exposing a large number of sealed cases kept off the docket. See Reporters Committee story about the Las Vegas Review-Journal and The Seattle Times' reporting on this subject.
