| Customer Reviews:
For journalists April 19, 2002 "Covering the Courts" consists of 18 short chapters written by lawyers and authors about the media and the judicial system in the United States. Topics covered include: the O.J. Simpson and McVeigh cases, cameras in the courtroom and what makes a fair trial. It is clear from this book that those who work for the courts don't always get along with those who report on the courts, and vice versa. I think books like these open up the dialogue between both camps and could possibly result in what both sides want: free press and fair trials. A very interesting read!
