Administrative Order 10-3: FTR Audio Streaming
Whereas, Rule
45(a), Idaho Court Administrative Rule (I.C.A.R.), provides that “audio/visual
coverage” includes the broadcast of public proceedings before district
and magistrate judges; and further provides that the transmission of sounds by
any electronic means, including but not limited to streaming, constitutes a “broadcast”
of courtroom proceedings;
Whereas, Rule
45(g), I.C.A.R., requires that approval for audio/visual coverage of a
courtroom proceeding must be obtained in advance from the presiding judge;
Whereas, it has
come to the attention of the Court, including the Administrative District
Judge, that live FTR broadcasts of court hearings in the Canyon County
Courthouse are being accessed by electronic means, and specifically by
streaming, by offices and/or individuals within the courthouse, but without the
advance approval of the presiding judge as required by I.C.A.R. 45(g);
Therefore, pending
further consideration of this matter, no live broadcasts or streaming of any
courtroom proceedings shall occur within the Third Judicial District, except as
approved in advance by the presiding judge, in accordance with Rule 45,
I.C.A.R.
It is so Ordered.
Dated this 5th day of May, 2010.
Signed by Juneal C. Kerrick, Administrative
District Judge
