In camera means which of the following?

• A. Not in the courtroom but in the judge's chamber
• B. A civil proceeding for infant settlement
• C. A group of citizens selected to decide a case
• D. A notice that a lawsuit is pending having to do with real property

Answer: (A)

In camera means a hearing or portion of a proceeding is conducted privately, out of the public eye, usually in the judge’s chambers rather than the courtroom. This private setting is used to protect sensitive information or privacy, such as confidential records or sensitive matters.

That’s why the option describing a matter not in the courtroom but in the judge’s chamber matches the meaning. The other choices refer to different legal concepts: a civil proceeding for infant settlement, a jury, or a notice of pendency of action, none of which involve private, in-chamber proceedings.
