Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

The #Judicial Conference of the United States, the policymaking body for the courts, has allowed some pilot programs in recent decades focused on civil cases. Lawmakers in both parties have unsuccessfully pushed legislation to allow more #transparency.
During the pandemic, court policies were loosened, w/some federal courts using Zoom for hearings & live-streaming audio of oral arguments.
