How much do you know about the use of mobile devices in Arizona courtrooms? A free presentation to be offered in Tucson will answer many of your questions.
The event is sponsored by the First Amendment Coalition of Arizona, and it will be held at the University of Arizona in Tucson on Friday, January 23. It will cover all the most recent changes to rules regarding cameras, mobile phones and more.
Click here for more information.
Panelists will include:
- Cathie Batbie, news director at KVOA-TV (Channel 4-NBC), Tucson
- Amelia Craig Cramer, chief deputy Pima County Attorney and former president of the State Bar of Arizona
- Patrick McNamara, courts reporter, Arizona Daily Star, Tucson
- Hon. Sally Simmons, presiding judge of the Pima County Superior Court and former president of the State Bar of Arizona
- Hon. Scott Rash, Pima County Superior Court judge
“Moderating the discussion will be well-known Phoenix media law attorney Daniel C. Barr, partner in the firm of Perkins Coie LLP, and counsel to the First Amendment Coalition of Arizona.”
As the website indicates: Admission is free and the public is invited, but to have an accurate count for ordering a continental breakfast, RSVPs are requested to phoenixspj@cox.net.
This event will replicate a first successful one back in October that the organization sponsored in Phoenix. (I wrote about it here.)
Note: To accommodate more people, organizers have moved the location of the cameras-in-courtrooms panel discussion. It’s now in the UA Education Building, 1430 E. Second St. Map and parking information is here. (And a map is below.)
