Media allowed to use electronic devices in Ontario Superior court

Effective February 1st, 2013, the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) is adopting a new protocol concerning the use of electronic devices in court. Under the Protocol on the Use of Electronic Devices in the Courtroom, counsel, paralegals, law students and clerks, self-represented parties and media or journalists are permitted the use of electronic devices in silent mode, subject to certain restrictions. Members of the public continue to be prohibited from using electronic devices in the courtroom unless the presiding judge orders otherwise.
