Judicial Conference Opposes Use of Cameras

US Courts, September 27, 2007 — Citing the Judiciary view that camera coverage can undermine the fundamental right of citizens to a fair and impartial trial, a representative of the Judicial Conference of the United States testified today against H.R. 2128, the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act of 2007. The bill was the topic of a House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Judge John R. Tunheim, the chair of the Judicial Conference Committee on Court Administration and Case Management, testified. Judge Tunheim is a U.S. district court judge from the District of Minnesota.”
