 Lawyers have often referred to the principle of open justice when disagreeing with a decision that was made, or calling for a retrial.In the United Kingdom, courts have tried to find the right balance between openness and secrecy, particularly in sensitive cases.In the United States, there have been concerns that the principle of open justice has not been applied to cases of immigrants "wrongly ensnared in the post-9/11 law enforcement dragnet" who were denied access to lawyers and relatives and sometimes deported after secret removal proceedings.
