nounpl: closed trials
julgamento fechado / julgamento à porta fechada
1. A legal proceeding held in private, not open to the public, typically to protect sensitive information, minors, or national security
The closed trial was held to protect the confidentiality of the minor witnesses.

In both Brazilian and American legal systems, closed trials are used to protect sensitive information such as trade secrets, medical records, or cases involving minors. In Brazil, such trials must be justified by law and are less common than in the United States. The transparency of judicial proceedings is a fundamental principle in both countries, so closed trials are exceptions that require legal justification.
