Lights, Camera, Courtroom? Should Trials Be Televised?

Kirtley, Jane E.; Brothers, Thomas W.; Veal, Harlan K.

Update on Law-Related Education, v23 n1 p25-27 Win 1999

Presents three differing perspectives from American Bar Association members on whether television cameras should be allowed in the courtroom. Contends that cameras should be allowed with differing degrees of certainty: cameras truly open the courts to the public; cameras must be strategically placed; and cameras should be used only with the judge's approval.
