Description: "Audio-Visual Coverage of Courts is the first book to present a comprehensive comparative study of televised court proceedings in Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Exhaustive in his identification and analysis of relevant law and key developments, Daniel Stepniak also relies on hitherto largely unpublished primary sources to provide unprecedented coverage of the experiences of courts."

"Through analysis of common law courts' regulation of audio-visual reporting, Daniel Stepniak proposes a theoretical framework and proven action plan for the attainment of the potential benefits of audio visual coverage, and argues that technological advances, the entrenchment of rights and, above all, the recognition by courts of their vested interest in facilitating greater public access to and understanding of judicial proceedings have all led to audio-visual coverage becoming increasingly perceived as desirable."--Jacket.
