In New Jersey, an appeals court ruled that Seton Hall University does not have to disclose the entirety of a report concerning sex abuse allegations linked to Theodore McCarrick. The university, represented by law firm Latham Watkins, has refused to release all notes, communications, and documents related to the investigation. The report was created for self-critical analysis by Seton Hall, and the university declined to comment publicly on the ruling.

The dispute centers on the scope of disclosure and transparency regarding the handling of the abuse allegations. The appeals court decision leaves unresolved questions about institutional accountability and the extent of information that must be shared publicly.
