A Wisconsin Order on Motion to Seal or Redact a Transcript is a court order that allows certain portions of a transcript to be sealed or redacted. This order is typically issued in criminal proceedings where personal or confidential information is discussed, such as the identity of a confidential informant, or information pertaining to a sensitive investigation. The order is granted when the court finds that the information is sensitive and needs to be protected from public disclosure. There are two types of Wisconsin Order on Motion to Seal or Redact a Transcript: an order to seal and an order to redact. An order to seal a transcript completely removes the information from public view, while an order to redact a transcript allows the information to remain part of the record but obscures it from public view. In either case, the information is still available to the parties involved in the case and the court.
