Penalties for Unauthorized Disclosure of Supreme Court Confidential Information

This new law imposes strict penalties on Supreme Court employees for unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. It aims to protect the privacy of justices and the integrity of deliberations, which may affect the court's transparency.
Key points
The act prohibits the disclosure of internal notes, communications between justices and employees, draft opinions, and personal information of justices.
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information carries penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a fine; disclosing internal notes incurs a $10,000 fine.
The goal is to prevent information leaks, which could impact how citizens learn about Supreme Court decisions.
