closed session


Explanation:
If the topic is clearly a legal matter, typical usage is "closed session" without referencing the court.

Of course, both closed court hearing and closed hearing are accurate as well - "closed session" is more commonly encountered in legal community, and "closed hearing" in the media or other contexts.

Closed sessions are often not permitted in the American legal system because of constitutional free speech and public trial rights. Things like trade secrets, juvenile offenders, and mental evaluations will often override the constitutional concerns.
