In a 20-page report released this week, Howard University law students urged lawmakers to pass a law that would mandate public virtual access to court proceedings.
Law students at Howard University have joined the fight to make public remote access to court proceedings permanent in Maryland courts after sitting in on Prince George’s County bail review hearings where they said they witnessed judges violate the rights of defendants.In a 20-page report of their observations over six months, the students said they saw the court dismiss defendants’ mental health and medical needs, hold juveniles in adult jail and set unaffordable bonds.
“Public officials aren’t taking even a moment to consider this legislation, even after we considered all the opposition and made amendment after amendment,” Johnson said. “All we got was laughed at.” The House judiciary committee has not yet voted on the legislation. Transparency advocates said their work pushing for greater remote access does not hinge on the legislation alone. If it fails this year, they’ll try again next year, they said, and will continue to advocate directly to the judiciary.
