In the week where a major “terrorist” trial in Great Britain will take place behind closed doors, we’re looking at the legal situation in Europe regarding media in the courtroom. How does European legislation tread the fine line between open justice and our right to know, and the dangers of “trial by media” where the course of justice is influenced by journalists’ activities? Case law, national examples and pan-European legislation illustrate the complex legal challenges surrounding courtroom reporting. Our latest legal hot topic now … hot off the press.
