Abstract

On June 30,1997, the State of New York became one of the nation's few states which does not permit audio-visual coverage of court proceedings. There are several potent arguments in the determination of whether cameras should be permitted in courtroom proceedings. This article will briefly summarize the history of the use of cameras in New York State courts, and then set out the arguments for and against their use in the state's judicial system. The article is prompted by the book entitled "An Open Courtroom: Cameras in New York Courts" which was published in 1997 by the New York State Committee to Review Audio-Visual Coverage of Court Proceedings.
