In civil cases, a defendant may provide a payment to settle a plaintiff's allegations without going to trial. The defendant never admits to wrong-doing, and the plaintiff never has to go through the trial process. Additionally, defendants usually tie such payments to "non-disclosure agreements" that prohibit the plaintiff from discussing the case with anyone else. You are the victim of sexual harassment by a local attorney. You settle your case for $50,000, and you sign an non-disclosure agreement. A few years later, the attorney is running for District Attorney. The attorney tells the public that that she's tough on crime, of impeccable moral character, and has never been sued or charged with a crime. You know that the attorney is not of impeccable character, and she has been sued--by you! Unfortunately, your non-disclosure agreement prevents you from speaking about your lawsuit, settlement, or the events in question. What will you do? Will you continue to honor your agreement? Or will you speak out so the public does not elect this attorney as their next District Attorney
