OFFER EXPIRES 3/30/2026 suggesting a framework for the future of internet court taken from India’s experiences, dated July 2025, written by L. Gupta, published in The Legal Youngster, and titled Judicial Transparency Vs Privacy: An Analysis of Live Streaming of Court Proceedings. In the article Gupta says a judiciary’s credibility relies on public confidence, which “hinges on transparency and accountability.” Seven safeguards and recommendations follow: 1) Selective streaming which only streams proceedings “involving constitutional interpretation, public interest litigation, and significant legal questions, with cases involving family, vulnerable populations or sexual offenses excluded;” 2) Anonymization and blurring measures to protect identities; 3) Content regulation where a time-delay may be utilized to filter inappropriate or confidential material; 4) Training and sensitization for judges, lawyers, and court staff to handle streamed proceedings with decorum and professionalism; 5) Technological infrastructure that includes secure and high quality audio-visual equipment for smooth streaming; 6) Legal framework that provides clear guidelines, data protection principles, and penalization of misusing content; 7) Archives and accessibility for recording storage on official judicial portals with metadata, categorization, and public access tools. Part of Gupta’s conclusion states livestreaming “has the potential to revolutionize public engagement with the legal system, enhance legal education, and promote institutional accountability. However, the enthusiasm for openness must be tempered with a cautious understanding of its repercussions.” Making improvements to the justice system is in progress, and it is possible for Michigan courts to improve access, maintain transparency, protect privacy — and even achieve MSC’s goal of making our justice system “a model for the nation.”
