The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FLSA) was created in 1978. I think as reaction to Church Committee, where CIA Director William Colby would spill his guts, indeed, Nelson Rockefeller call him Alger Hiss.
FLSA created a secret court and surprise, surprise it's author was none other then Ted Kennedy.
In the FLSA court there are no defense lawyers, only Federal Lawyers from F.B.I or Justice Dept appear, the record are sealed, but Chief Justice or Attorney General can unseal them.
