With a specific, thorough, and practical approach, this text is an engaging and accessible introduction to the American court system, its players, language, and impact on the public. Written by a veteran court reporter, the book provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge for covering this beat, including:
• How to cover the courts and the law accurately, fairly, and with healthy skepticism;
• How to find stories in the courts and how to read legal documents and make sense of them;
• A discussion of the advances in technology that are changing the way stories are reported and delivered, as well as how to access electronic information maintained by the courts;
• Concrete examples, provided throughout the text, of what it is like to cover courts.
A valuable resource, Covering America’s Courts provides students, bloggers, and citizen journalists with the foundation they need to walk into a courthouse anywhere in the country and report fairly, clearly, and ethically about criminal and civil cases.
