Conn. Practice Book § 77-3 (2026)

Sec. 77-3 lodged with the appellate clerk be sealed or its disclosure limited only if the court concludes that such order is necessary to preserve an interest which is determined to override the public’s inter- est in viewing such document. The court shall first consider reasonable alternatives to any such order and any such order shall be no broader than necessary to protect such overriding interest. An agreement of the parties to seal or limit the disclo- sure of documents filed or lodged with the appel- late clerk shall not constitute a sufficient basis for the issuance of such an order. (d) The court may, upon determination that the resolution of the motion requires findings of fact, refer the motion to the trial court to make such findings.
