Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether an intervenor's interest in transparency is sufficient to confer standing to seek access to sealed or protected judicial records

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

question presented is: Whether an intervenor’s interest in transparency is sufficient to confer standing to seek access to sealed or protected judicial records (as the First, Third, Fourth, and Eleventh Circuits hold); whether an intervenor’s standing turns on whether the underlying case is still pending (as the Fifth Circuit holds); or whether an intervenor must show personalized “adverse effects” to seek document unsealing (as the Sixth Circuit held here).
