ABOTA Speaks

Streaming Justice – When Courtrooms Go Live


Listen Later

In this episode of ABOTA Speaks host Jill Webb explores how livestreaming is transforming the American courtroom. She's joined by David Siegel, National Editor at Courtroom View Network, and attorneys Kyle Farrar and Mark Bankston, who represented the Sandy Hook families in the highly publicized, livestreamed defamation trial against Alex Jones and InfoWars.

Together, they discuss the practical realities of cameras in the courtroom: how lawyers prepare differently (or don't), when livestreaming serves the public interest, and what cases require more discretion. From the mechanics of media access to the future challenges posed by AI-generated evidence and deep fakes, this conversation addresses the evolving intersection of technology, transparency, and trial practice.

Whether you're considering livestreaming your next trial or simply want to understand how this shift is changing the profession, this episode offers candid insights from lawyers who've experienced both sides of the camera — and why exposure to real courtroom practice remains essential for the next generation of trial lawyers.
