GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut's chief justice says she
plans to lift a ban on camera phones in state courthouses.
The move was recommended by the state's Public Services and
Trust Commission as part of its strategic plan to improve public
service in the Judicial Branch.
Chief Justice Chase Rogers, who commissioned the report last
year, told a gathering of lawyers in Greenwich Wednesday that she
plans to implement 200 to 300 of the group's recommendations.
Rogers says court marshals checked in 290,000 camera phones
carried by the court house visitors last year, evidence that the
ban is not practical.
