In camera (Latin: "in a chamber") is a legal term meaning "in private". It is also sometimes termed in chambers.

In camera describes court cases (or portions thereof) that the public and press are not admitted to.In camera is the opposite of trial in open court where all the parties and witnesses testify in a public courtroom, and attorneys make their arguments in public to the trier of fact.

Entire cases may be heard in camera when, for example, matters of national security are involved. In camera reviews may also be used during otherwise open trials — for example, to protect trade secrets or where one party asserts privilege (such as attorney–client privileged communications). This lets the judge review the document in private before determining its admissibility in open court.

In camera can also describe closed board meetings that cover information not recorded in the minutes or divulged to the public. Such sessions may discuss personnel, financial, or other sensitive decisions that must be kept secret (e.g., a proposed merger or strategic change the organization does not want disclosed to competitors).
