A judge’s order to release secret documents raises questions about how much involvement courts should have over settlements related to corporate wrongdoing.The objective of the justice department is the end of a practice.

Public humiliation and a destructive bankruptcy are avoided.
Quiet arrangements tend to be time limited.
The suppressed practice can reoccur.
Practitioners like that thought.
Prosecutors do not like the possibility.
