Last year, Falconi successfully petitioned the Nevada Supreme Court, which ruled that the public has a constitutional right to access Family Court cases.
While the court is scheduled to hold evidentiary hearings next week, a decision from the court on media access could come at any time.
If a judge does agree to unseal the case, it could have major ripple effects for Nevada family courts.
Some have argued that sealing family court cases helps protect the privacy of vulnerable people.
Falconi is not working with the media coalition, but said he hopes the national media attention on the Murdoch case will tangentially help his mission.
