I agree with the lawyers cited in the article that once the ex-wife filed private information in court filings that were not under seal, they became matters of public record.<p>But god, what a shitty article. The "judicial reform advocate" angle is a total red herring. That's not why the guy was jailed--he was held in contempt because he violated a restraining order not to discuss private information that came to light in the context of a court proceeding. That restraining order would have been totally enforceable if the ex-wife's lawyer hadn't screwed up by filing that private information without seal.
