The state’s small public affairs television network, CT-N, has plans to dramatically increases coverage of all three branches of state government, a proposal that includes video coverage of all cases argued before the Supreme and Appellate courts.
The proposal, in the form of a bill before the legislature, seems to have the backing of high-ranking Judicial Branch members and some prominent appellate attorneys. Chief Justice Chase Rogers said in a statement: “One of my top goals since becoming chief justice in 2007 has been making the Judicial Branch more transparent and accessible to the public. We have worked with CT-N for many years so that it may expand coverage of oral arguments at both the Supreme and Appellate courts.”
