closed hearings

Closed hearings are private sessions where certain information is not shared with the public or media. They are typically held to protect sensitive details, such as national security, personal privacy, or ongoing investigations. During these hearings, only authorized individuals, like the parties involved and specific officials, can attend and discuss the matter. The goal is to ensure confidentiality while still allowing the process to proceed and protect the interests involved. Once the closed hearing concludes, any non-confidential information may be made available publicly, but the private aspects remain restricted.
