Ban on Cameras in Court Opposed
The board of the state’s judges organization has narrowly voted to oppose a ban on cameras in the courtroom.
The California Judges Assn.’s executive board voted 10 to 8 against endorsing the proposed ban, which is to be considered Feb. 23 by the Judicial Council, the policy-making body for the state courts.
That vote was close to the breakdown of judges’ opinions in a statewide survey that has not yet been released, said association President Paul Boland, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.
The board voted unanimously to recommend adoption of uniform guidelines for judges to decide whether to allow cameras.
