Now lets talk about the final aspect, usually, regarding a confidentiality agreement in court. And that is what the judge’s decision is regarding the decision. For this example, and for all real-life cases hopefully, we will assume a judge who has not been bribed or does not favor one side more than the other. Lets look at a judge’s step by step thinking in this sort of case:

• To begin with the judge will probably be impatient regarding the prosecution. They are wasting his or her time with a case that has little to no solid evidence and are asking for a breach of rights to maybe recover usable evidence.
• Drawing on the above, the judge will be reluctant to help a prosecution take away your confidentiality for the simple reason of fishing for evidence. If the prosecution hasn’t presented any real evidence before, what is to prove that they will now? And what are the possible costs of making such a move? Remember that if turned around by another judge, this judge could face a career-threatening scandal.
• The judge will then think that it his not his job in the first place to investigate you, it is the prosecutions. He will make it a point that it is not his place to do the dirty work to make this case fly.
• The judge will think about all of these aspects and usually rule in your favor because it is the choice that makes more sense and offers him less risk.

Overall judges are usually looking for quick, easy cases that do not involve them too deeply. They do not want to get caught up in a scandal where a United States citizen was denied his free rights and they do not want to create a bad name for themselves. Let the judge make the decisions and you will find that they will work for you.

So now that you know that confidentiality agreements will help you, you may be asking how much they cost. If you want to purchase an agreement, it will cost you just under three-hundred dollars for one involving a corporation and just under five-hundred dollars for one involving a foundation. We will draft up your own agreement and have it legally signed and documented by all the right people. Make sure you know what you are agreeing to, however, as the agreement goes both ways. And remember that combining two agreements is never a good thing to do.
