Camera in federal courts vote delayed: U.S. Judicial Conference instead focuses on long-range plan recommendations

Article Abstract:

The Judicial Conference of the US approved a host of measures from its proposed Long Range Plan for the Federal Courts but avoided the contentious issue of television cameras in the courtroom. At its Sept semiannual meeting in Washington DC, the conference approved measures to create federal defender organizations in all judicial districts, make counsel more available for indigent and pro se civil litigants and criminal defendants, and ask Congress and the President to fill bench vacancies. The camera issue was postponed until Mar 1996.
