Editorial Reviews

Review

"a concise, readable overview.... Very useful" -- Choice

"details the often tense relationship between the First and Sixth amendments" -- Los Angeles Daily Journal

"this book belongs on the shelf of every criminal defense lawyer. It's the most balanced, comprehensive treatment available of every contentious issue surrounding this debate. ...a unique blend of historical insight, practical experience, and academic rigor" -- California Attorneys for Criminal Justice --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.


Product Description

"Now in paperback and featuring a new preface by the authors, Cameras in the Courtroom looks at the effects of both allowing and barring television coverage of legal proceedings. Cohn and Dow examine landmark televised trials, including those of O.J. Simpson, the Menendez brothers, and William Kennedy Smith. Also, analyzing the impact of Court TV and the history of cameras in American courtrooms, the text strikes a balanced discussion among diverse opinions. In the new preface, the authors consider the effect of excluding television coverage from the upcoming trial of Zacarias Moussaoui on charges stemming from the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. The book also includes an array of interviews with judges, attorneys, jurors, witnesses, and legal scholars, shedding light on a subject that has become an important topic in both media and law."

By A Customer
Cohn and Dow have written the definitive work on cameras in the courtroom. Thoroughly researched and brilliantly written, CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM gives an honest, balanced and realistic discussion of the role of electronic journalism in courtrooms of the past, present and future. This book is an incredible resource!

By A Customer
The best book yet about cameras in the courtroom. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, the book traces the history of cameras in courts and carefully presents the arguments on both sides of this heated debate.
