Plaintiff, a domestic violence victim, appealed from a
trial court's order denying her application to assume a new
name, her request to waive the requirement to publish notice,
and her request that the matter be placed under seal and not be
entered in any data base accessible by the public. We found
that adhering to the rule requiring publication of an
application to change a name would result in an injustice, and,
because we find that good cause exists to seal the court record,
we reversed the trial court pursuant to Rule 1:1-2 and 1:2-1.
