Got thoughts on . . .
- Cameras in the courtroom?
The Judicial Council’s Bench-Bar-Media Committee is
seeking comments on its recommendations on these and related issues. The recommendations include:
- creating an "explicit presumption that cameras and other recording devices are allowed in the courtroom"
- conditioning gag orders on "a specific finding of a legitimate competing interest that overrides the public’s right of access," and
- requiring all courts to post sealing orders and applications "on their local websites within five court business days."
The public may submit comments by 5 p.m. on Friday, October 29, 2010, at the California Courts website at
www.courtinfo.ca.gov/invitationstocomment.
