General
Works
The image of the
courtroom as a theater in which life and death dramas are played is a very common one. A
related topic is the presence of cameras in the courtroom. What effect does breaching
"the fourth wall" have on the behavior of lawyers, judges, juries, parties and
spectators? Do they "play to the camera" as some charged during the O.J. Simpson
murder trial? See Internet
Resources on Cameras in the Courtroom.
