Summary
This is a court filing from November 2015 in Broward County, Florida, involving a defamation case between plaintiffs Bradley Edwards/Paul Cassell and defendant Alan Dershowitz. The plaintiffs are responding to Dershowitz's motion to keep certain records confidential, arguing that the records—which detail Virginia Giuffre's allegations of sexual abuse by Dershowitz—are central to the case and have never been deemed confidential by any other court.

Quote #2
"Rather, these records are an important part of this case, since they not only support the conclusion that Dershowitz abused Ms. Giuffre, but also indisputably establish Edwards and Cassell’s strong basis for filing the allegations on her behalf."Source

PLAINTIFFS/COUNTERCLAIM DEFENDANT EDWARDS AND CASSELL’S RESPONSE TO DERSHOWITZ’S MOTION TO DETERMINE CONFIDENTIALITY OF COURT RECORDS
Plaintiffs/Counterclaim Defendants Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, by and through their undersigned attorneys, hereby file this response to Dershowitz’s Motion to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records. The records at issue are not confidential, and so the Court should deny Dershowitz’s motion in its entirety.
The court records at issue are three court filings by attorneys Edwards and Cassell in which they recite their client’s (Mr. Virginia Giuffre’s) allegations that she was sexually abused by Dershowitz. These records are hardly “confidential” in this defamation case, where the parties have claims and counterclaims about these sexual abuse Allegations. Rather, these records are an important part of this case, since they not only support the conclusion that Dershowitz abused Ms. Giuffre, but also indisputably establish Edwards and Cassell’s strong basis for filing the allegations on her behalf. Moreover, contrary to assertions made in Dershowitz’s motion, these documents have never been found to be “confidential” by any other court. And Dershowitz has repeatedly referred to
