secret court

A secret court typically refers to a judicial proceeding held in private, where the details are not disclosed to the public. These courts often address sensitive issues related to national security, terrorism, or classified information. While they maintain confidentiality to protect state secrets or sensitive evidence, they can raise concerns about transparency and fairness in the legal process. The proceedings, decisions, and sometimes even the existence of such courts are kept from public scrutiny, which can limit accountability and public understanding of the justice system.
