• Americans will have few opportunities to binge-watch the Donald J. Trump trials.
• Even members of Congress from both sides of the aisle proposed legislation requiring cameras in the U.S. Supreme Court.
• In this age of Court TV and Judge Judy, why would trials not be televised?
• There are many reasons why all trials aren’t televised, spanning the history of case law, congressional legislation, empirical research, high-profile “circus” trials and, in some cases, fear.

From public to pensive

• The right to a public trial is enshrined in English common law and the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
• Almost everyone is guaranteed public access to, and thus oversight of, their case, which allows the public to hold the system accountable.
• But the courts have struggled to define how “public” to make a public trial.
• Generally, in most state courts, an individual judge can make the ultimate decision about allowing cameras in their courtroom.

Grandstanding or transparency?

• A lawyer representing Trump in the federal 2020 election case said in July that he would prefer cameras in the courtroom.
• Judges say cameras invite grandstanding by lawyers, intimidate jurors and witnesses, or cause select sound bites to reflect poorly on the court.
• Introduce the possibility of using artificial intelligence to create deepfake videos about courtroom proceedings, and judges may get even more skittish.
• One study indicates that recording trials can actually help train better lawyers by viewing, not just reading about, previous cases.
• A 1994 Federal Judicial Center study found that judges and lawyers noted little-to-no detrimental effect of cameras on federal proceedings.
