Three notable courtroom video projects have recently been launched.
First, proceedings of the UK Supreme Court are now being televised and Webcast live on SkyNews. Click here for Professor Simon Fodden’s post about this project at Slaw.ca.
Second, a pilot project to offer live video coverage of proceedings in selected U.S. federal district courts has been launched.
Third, proceedings of the Massachusetts Commonwealth District Court in Quincy are being Webcast live daily by OpenCourt, a project of WBUR in Boston. This project is funded by the Knight Foundation’s Knight News Challenge. OpenCourt posts updates on Twitter at @OpenCourtus.
If you know of other recent developments in offering video/Internet access to court proceedings, please feel free to tell us about them in the comments.
