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: In the last quarter century, televised court proceedings have gone from an outlandish idea to a seemingly inevitable reality. Yet,debate continues to rage over the dangers and benefits to the justice system of cameras in the courtroom. Critics contend television transforms the temple of justice into crass theatre. Supporters maintain that silent cameras portray "the real thing," that without them judicial reality is inevitably filtered through the mind and pens of a finite pool of reporters. Television in a courtroom is clearly a two-edged sword, both invasive and informative. Bringing a trial to the widest possible audience creates pressures and temptations for all participants. While it reduces speculations and fears about what transpired, television sometimes forces the general public, which possesses information the jury may not have, into a conflicting assessment of specific cases and the justice system in general. TV or Not TV argues convincingly that society gains much more than it loses when trials are open to public scrutiny and discussion.

Download or read book Televising Supreme Court and Other Federal Court Proceedings Legislation and Issues written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, some in Congress, the public, and the media have expressed interest in television or other electronic media coverage of Supreme Court and other federal court proceedings. The Supreme Court has never allowed live electronic media coverage of its proceedings, but the Court posts opinions and transcripts of oral arguments on its website. The public has access to audiotapes of the oral arguments and opinions that the Court gives to the National Archives and Records Administration. Currently, Rule 53 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure prohibits the photographing or broadcasting of judicial proceedings in criminal cases in federal courts. The Judicial Conference of the United States prohibits the televising, recording, and broadcasting of district trial (civil and criminal) court proceedings. Under conference policy, each court of appeals may permit television and other electronic media coverage of its proceedings. Only two of the 13 courts of appeals, the Second and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals, have chosen to do so. Although legislation to allow camera coverage of the Supreme Court and other federal court proceedings has been introduced in the current and previous Congresses, none has been enacted.

Download or read book Media Freedom and Contempt of Court written by Eric Barendt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays discuss the restrictions imposed by contempt of court and other laws on media freedom to attend and report legal proceedings. Part I contains leading articles on the open justice principle. They examine the extent to which departures from that principle should be allowed to protect the rights of parties, in particular the accused in criminal proceedings, to a fair trial, and their interest in being rehabilitated in society after proceedings have been concluded. The essays in Part II examine the topical issue of whether open justice entails a right to film and broadcast legal proceedings. The articles in Part III are concerned with the application of contempt of court to prejudicial media publicity; they discuss whether it is possible to prevent prejudice without sacrificing media freedom. Another aspect of media freedom and contempt of court is canvassed in Part IV: whether journalists should enjoy a privilege not to reveal their sources of information.

Download or read book I m Not a Judge But I Play One on TV written by Steven Arthur Kohm and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an in-depth, exploratory qualitative content analysis of American reality-based courtroom television programming. Based on a detailed examination of over 200 hours of People 's Court and Judge Judy, the thesis theorizes the links between popular entertainment and public attitudes toward law, punishment and the legal system. The potential of these programs to shape popular attitudes toward the place of law in the lives of ordinary people is of particular interest here. In order to tap into the viewer's perspective, a purposive sampling of viewer comments fiom an Internet-based fan discussion forum was utilized. The primary method employed in analyzing the programs was a detailed textual analysis of the discourse of judges, litigants and fans. Drawing from the methodological insights of linguistic ethnographers John Conley and William O'Barr (1990, 1998) I closely analyzed the decision-making of the TV judges, the style of testimony presented by litigants and the overall morphological structure of both programs. Based on this analysis, I conclude that the two programs articulate very different models of law and justice corresponding to different socio-political orientations. People's Court presents a participatory-democratic vision of law that is grounded in liberal-legal notions of due process, individual rights and free speech, while Judge Judy offers an authoritarian vision of judgement and law centred on the moral discourses of personal responsibility, traditional family values, and harsh punishment for those who fail to learn from their past mistakes. However, while the two programs present their messages through different models of judicial process, both contribute to a reconceptualization of judgement as a source of spectacle and entertainment. I assert that reality-based courtroom TV is the leading edge of a movement toward a new culture of judgement marked by the multiplication of opportunities to judge and be judged; judgement fiom a distance facilitated by technology; the increasing use of judgement as a form of entertainment; and the incitement to not only 'judge for ourselves,' but to judge ourselves against the normative yardstick of those marginalized litigants who turn to the TV tribunal as a court of last resort.

It incorporates the key aspects of the debate in one volume, examining witness privacy and protection, defendant reputation, the purported educational benefits of televising trials, the coverage of trials from an entertainment or voyeurisitic perspective, and whether any proposed benefits of televising trials are negated by potential negative costs to the participants involved or the audience in general.
