District Court, D. Delaware August 30, 2012, Civil Action No. 1:11-1015 (Delaware Coalition for Open Government v. Strine)

MEMORANDUM

McLAUGHLIN, District Judge.

This is a challenge to a confidential arbitration proceeding established by Delaware law and implemented by the Delaware Court of Chancery.1 The plaintiff argues that the First Amendment’s qualified right of access prevents the defendants from closing this proceeding to the public and press. Both parties have cross-moved for judgment on the pleadings.
