Will consider whether a state law requiring courts to make a diligent effort to seal all court records when requested by a defendant who receives an expungement order violates the public’s right to access under the First Amendment and the state constitutional equivalent. Will also consider whether the law interferes with the state judiciary’s inherent authority over its own files and procedures.
