SUMMARY:First Amendment – Court Access: Transparency as a structural safeguard\, not a courtesy
DESCRIPTION:The Pennsylvania Constitution guarantees that “all courts shall be open” and the U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized that the First Amendment mandates open courts as essential to democratic accountability. This right applies to both the press and the public\, and it covers many—though not all—judicial proceedings. We’ll review the modern issues relating to digital access (livestreaming and online dockets and filings)\, sealing abuse (overuse of protective orders in civil cases\, excessive redactions and “secret docketing” controversies) as well as AI and court transparency (automated decision-making\, algorithmic tools used in sentencing). \nPresenters: \n\nMelissa Melewsky\, Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association\nPaula Knudsen Burke\, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press\nTBD\, Ballard Spahr\nother presenters invited – check back soon for complete list\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n2026-27 Center for Journalism Excellence “Meet the Moment” Virtual Training Registration\nRegister now for all eight virtual “Meet the Moment” sessions offered across 2026–2027.
