Recently, however, more civil disputes have been resolved out of court and the outcomes kept secret. Some argue that the confidentiality of the system keeps it working efficiently and fairly; others argue that the public is being denied information about hazards that may cause harm and that a public system with no data lacks oversight. This book approaches the issue in a multidisciplinary, nonpartisan, and empirical manner.  aDescription based on print version record.  aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 0aJustice, Administration ofzUnited States. 0aDisclosure of informationxLaw and legislationzUnited States. 0aConfidential communicationszUnited States.1 aDoherty, Joseph W.1 aReville, Robert T.1 aZakaras, Laura.08iPrint versionz9780199914333403Oxford scholarship onlineuhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199914333.001.0001  c36633d36633
