The subject matter of this chapter is the various methods whereby trial proceedings may be held in secret. The means that are available fall into two categories. The one functions by way of interposing physical obstacles in the way of access to the courtroom. It is typified by the hearing of the trial in camera. The other category comprises restraints which are normative in nature. This chapter also pursues the issues that have a bearing on the validity of proceedings that have improperly been held in private. Furthermore, attention is devoted to the two principal modes of conducting hearings in secret which are permitted by law. This chapter then considers aspects of English law which have been used to enforce courtroom secrecy. The use of screens in order to avoid witness/accused facial confrontation raises issues similar to the deployment of live television links, which are also explored in this chapter.

What is secrecy? What is a state secret? Which state secrets deserve protection from disclosures? How are state secrets protected from disclosure? In this review, I use these questions as an organizing framework to review the richness of a very disparate, largely US-centric, but also multidisciplinary literature. In doing so, I highlight the social nature of secrecy - that it is a social construct with social effects and consequences - and the need for further research to unveil those rationalities that specific discourses on state secrecy put forward to legitimize the nondisclosure of state secrets.
