A gag order, also known as a “suppression order,” is an order made by a court or government official, restricting information from becoming public knowledge. In most cases, a gag order is issued by a judge for the purpose of preventing witnesses and jurors from obtaining information about the case outside court, to protect the integrity of the trial. On occasion, a judge may issue a gag order to prevent certain information from being passed on to third parties involved in the legal matter. To explore this concept, consider the following gag order definition.
Noun
An order of the court that bans reporters or other parties involved in a case from publicly disclosing certain information.
Origin
1975-1980
What is a Gag Order
A gag order is issued by the court to order individuals involved with a civil or criminal court case to refrain from disclosing certain information to the public, or to the press. People who are commonly the targets of gag orders include witnesses, attorneys, law enforcement officials, jurors, and other parties to a legal matter. Gag orders, sometimes referred to as “protective orders,” are a tool commonly used by judges to protect individuals’ right to a fair trial, to protect a company’s trade secrets, or to protect the identity and privacy of minors and victims. Because this type of order restrains people from releasing information, or from discussing the case in any manner, it may be considered a type of restraining order.
