We're introducing the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act of 2025 to allow media coverage of federal court proceedings, with safeguards to protect the rights of all parties involved. By granting judges the discretion to permit or deny recording and broadcasting, while ensuring privacy for jurors and vulnerable witnesses, we aim to enhance transparency in the judicial process.
