1.1 Media in the Courtroom: Access to the Court File

Monday, August 18, 9:00 – 10:30

Judges are facing more frequent media requests for copies of exhibits from proceedings. These can include written or videotaped statements to police, “Mr. Big” videos, crime scene photos, psychological reports or affidavits in high profile family law cases, to name just a few. How do you weigh the media’s demand for increased access against a defendant’s right to a fair trial? A journalist, a lawyer and a professor will discuss various requests, their impact and the current state of the law.
