Are newspapers still fighting to keep court proceedings open? Perhaps not.

Another brutal day of work interfering with posting….

Here’s an interesting Adam Liptak piece in the New York Times:

You don’t see newspapers fighting to open court proceedings the way they used to, and people are starting to notice.

“The days of powerful newspapers with ample legal budgets appear to be numbered,” a public defender in Georgia, Gerard Kleinrock, wrote in a recent Supreme Court brief. “Will underfunded bloggers be able to carry the financial burdens of opening our courtrooms?”

I’m tempted to blog about what made my day so brutal, but I’m not blogging active cases…  (nothing of great news import, just strange lawyer moves, where I’m curious what others think).

    maybe it’s slipping; but look at British press exposing the real reason Lockerbie bomber released; affirms for me, press is alive, it’ll always be alive.
