Some records are confidential by law. [[Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 2.550]] supplies the sealing standard within its scope. [[Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 2.551]] supplies the procedure. Party agreement or a confidentiality label alone does not seal a filing. A third-party website’s removal process does not change the underlying court file. This distinction matters when considering [[How to Get Information Removed from a Website like Unicourt]].
