In Re the Baltimore Sun Company

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing the great risk of the public losing confidence in the justice system if a criminal defendant is tried by an anonymous jury
• finding a common law access to jurors’ names and addresses
• “When the jury system grew up with juries of the vicinage, everybody knew everybody on the jury . . . ,” so requiring the public disclosure of the names of trial and prospective jurors upon empanelment is “no more than an application of what has always been the law . . . .”
