Confidentiality of facts obtained at sessions not considered in adjudication, exception
When someone goes to an educational session because a court sent them there, what happens in that session stays private. Nothing said or learned there can be used in a court case. The paperwork from the session also cannot become part of any court record — unless everyone involved agrees in writing to allow it. The only thing a court can see is a certificate showing the person finished the session.
