A consumer watchdog group is seeking to open the secret settlement paid to the New Jersey girl whose paralysis in a crash with a drunken Giants football fan brought attention to the evils of binge drinking at sporting events. Public Citizen of Washington, D.C., argues that the public's right of access to the courts is being violated by a sealing order covering the settlement and legal fees. The fact of the settlement was public only because the plaintiff's lawyer noted it on his law firm's Web site.
