1985 COMMENT: This Section has been law since the first enactment of the Code of Civil Procedure.
This Section has excepted from its provisions the records of the Juvenile Division of the Superior Court, as there are
special restrictions upon Juvenile Records covered in Chapter 5 of Title 19 of this Code. Also, the court is permitted to
close records to the general public by special order. Obviously, parties to the action will have access to the records as
provided by the applicable Rules of Procedure.
