NPPA, SPJ file amicus brief challenging policy that prohibits photographing virtual court hearings. NPPA and SPJ filed an amicus brief in support of a First Amendment challenge to a court policy prohibiting recording, photographing, or rebroadcasting Zoom court proceedings held virtually on Zoom.

Lots of chaos out there on these kinds of problems! We filed an amicus brief on a similar issue in Michigan where a lawyer was sanctioned for taking a photograph of a publicly live-streamed proceeding

When we were challenging Council’s public comment rules, Maurer was the only councilor who seemed to understand the First Amendment — and her opponent in this race condescendingly criticized her for it.
