KFGO Radio, Inc. v. Rothe

PEDERSON, Justice,

concurring specialty-

I have no dispute with the results reached in the majority opinion, but I do not agree that § 22 of the North Dakota Constitution requires either judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings to be open. The Legislative Assembly has not authorized closed inquiries under § 11-16-15, NDCC, and state’s attorneys do not have implied powers to close proceedings to protect constitutional rights as courts do in very limited circumstances.
