Example of Rulesheet in CDCL Authoring Form

For those portions of a court proceeding transcript not considered sealed, disclose to public only after 90 days have elapsed from filing date; entire transcript may be disclosed at any time to the non-public: counsel, judge, clerk, or court reporter. Redact during public access the following information: social security numbers, financial account numbers, dates of birth, names of minor children, and both ZIP code and street address of residences (i.e. city and state may be disclosed). If there are any motions under consideration to withhold the transcript, then redact the entire transcript. When user is counsel, add obligation to review the entire transcript for PII.
