Overview

On June 30, 1997, the experiment, initiated in 1987, which gave trial judges discretion to allow televised and still camera coverage of civil and criminal trial court proceedings came to an end. The New York State legislature appointed a 12 member committee to evaluate the efficacy of the experiment. Their results are contained in ""An Open Court"". The book contains: an introduction, executive summary; overview of the committee's work; a summary of the current law; overview of camera coverage laws in other states and in federal courts; summary of the committee's records; committee's assessment and conclusions; recommendations; appendices which include surveys, interviews and other pertinent data; and a minority report/dissent arguing the committee's recommendations.
