Located near the Covent Market and Budweiser Gardens in central London, parking is available at our full-service law office. We can also arrange virtual meetings if required. The O.J. Simpson trial is always a vivid memory, and the Netflix series The Making of a Murderer has sustained this impression. A lot of this public belief may be a result of the excessive American media coverage from within the courtroom. While this may make Canada look technology backwards, quite the reverse is true. Canadian courts have been quite comfortable with video, audio, and photographic media. In 1981, the Patriation Reference case marked the initial instance a legal camera was allowed into a Canadian courtroom. Three television networks broadcasted the trial of three high-profile court cases in the 1990s (CBC, CTV, and Global Television) before Ontario courts banned such broadcasts. The next appeal should have been with the Canadian high court, although this information was not provided. All Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) hearings are now videotaped and carried on the Cable Public Affairs Channel. The provinces regulate these rules. Ontario has the most stringent ban in all of Canada. Audio and visual recording and the live TV broadcast of legal proceedings are forbidden in this Canadian province. AssemblyTrademark
