In this video, we break down how local government and local courts handle public access, and why the First Amendment matters more than ever. We also take you to beautiful Capitola Beach in California, using its peaceful scenery as a backdrop to discuss a not-so-peaceful issue: the Streisand Effect—and how it can surface when attorneys acting as private judges or so-called parenting coordinators try to conduct hearings for private pay without posting public hearing notices or allowing public access.
If you’re interested in transparency in the justice system, family court accountability, or the public’s right to know, this video connects the dots between these critical issues and explains why openness is essential in every courtroom—public or private.
Please support local investigative journalism. Here we report on police, judges, attorneys, courts and local government.
