Download or read book Cameras in Federal Courts written by Marilyn Davis and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of whether or not to allow video cameras into the courtroom has been discussed and debated by Members of Congress, the legal community, journalists, and the public since the introduction of newsreel films in the early 20th century. Technological advances have shifted some of the considerations in this ongoing dialogue, as newsreel cameras gave way to television cameras and Internet video. Increasingly, new technology makes video recording less disruptive, accessible to more people, and able to be distributed quickly, if not instantaneously. Most state courts, and several international supreme courts, allow video cameras to record and televise, or otherwise broadcast, their proceedings under certain circumstances. This book is not intended to provide a legal analysis of court cases relevant to the use of video cameras in federal courtrooms. This book provides information about the current judicial policies and attitudes related to video camera use in the U.S. Supreme Court, federal circuit courts, and federal district courts; summaries of the major debates and considerations for policymakers on the subject of courtroom cameras, including the appropriateness of congressional action, standards for public and media access to the courts, and potential effects on courtroom proceedings; descriptions of the four legislative proposals currently before the 114th Congress, including the Cameras in the Courtroom Act (H.R. 94 and S. 780), the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act (H.R. 917 and S. 783), the Transparency in Government Act (H.R. 1381), and the Eyes on the Courts Act (H.R. 3723); and complementary policy measures that might accomplish similar objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Court and policy makers have increasingly had to deal with—and sometimes even embrace—technology, from podcasts to the Internet. Televised courtroom broadcasting especially remains an issue. The debate surrounding the US Supreme Court and federal courts, as well as the great disparity between different forms of television courtroom broadcasting, rages on. What are the effects of television courtroom broadcasting? Does research support the arguments for or against? Despite three Supreme Court cases on television courtroom broadcasting, the common thread between the cases has not been highlighted. The Supreme Court in these cases maintains a common theme: there is not a sufficient body of research on the effects of televising courtroom proceedings to resolve the debate in a confident manner.

Book excerpt: The "cameras in the courtroom" legal issue has recently expanded to include handheld image dissemination and real-time reporting using cell phones, laptops, and third-party platforms such as Twitter. This new system of technology is often referred to as "Web 2.0." The judiciary and the press constantly face new legal and ethical issues related to the use of such technology, and this study is one of the first comprehensive scholarly analyses of this legal problem. While every state permits some type of camera coverage and has a law on the subject, few states have laws that specifically address the use of electronic devices to send information (text, audio, video, photo) directly from the courtroom. The result is an area of the law with few published court opinions and great uncertainty. This study examined the legal status of live-reporting with mobile devices in state and federal courtrooms across the country. Using court opinions, examples of successful live reporting, and existing laws, a snapshot of this evolving and understudied area was created. From this data, a model policy for courts on the use of electronic devices and list of best practices for journalists was developed. The model policy combined the experiences in different jurisdictions to offer a tool for courts to use in dealing with the increased demand for permission to live-report with mobile devices. The policy presumes that coverage is permitted, a presumption supported by the historical and legal foundations of the law in this area, but also considers the logistical requirements of managing a court and the essential need for respect for the court and the judge. The best practices approach the issue from the perspective of journalists, providing a framework for practicing journalists that will aid them in educating court professionals and enhancing their chances for initial and continuing permission to report live from courtrooms.
