You're invited to join the Council for Court Excellence on July 16th for our Bench-Bar-Media Dialogue event, Tell Us Everything!: Handling the Demand for Information in High-Profile Trials in the Internet Age. In a 24-hour news and social media era, is it possible to satisfy the public’s demand for real-time information about the most newsworthy trials without compromising other interests? At this Bench-Bar-Media Dialogue event, we’ll examine the challenges that come up repeatedly in such trials, as courts try to ensure robust public and press access without jeopardizing the integrity of the proceedings or the security of jurors, witnesses, and court personnel.
