In Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a judge placing a gag order on the media covering a trial was a form of prior restraint that was not allowed under the Constitution. This ruling established that such orders were subject to strict scrutiny and could only be granted if they were the least restrictive means necessary to ensure a fair trial. This decision still prevails as the common law today.
