Media planning coverage of the motion hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. January 16, 2008 in District Court Department 5 should plan on setting up media live/satellite trucks in the Regional Justice Center Public Parking lot located near the corner of Casino Center and Bonneville Avenues. This location will be where the mult-box will be located for live coverage from the courtroom. The courtroom is located on the 15th floor of the Regional Justice Center. The pool for this hearing will be arranged through truTV (CourtTV) and a microwave feed is being considered for sending the signal out of the building down to the parking lot. Further details will be arranged on Monday when the court meets with truTV’s producer.
Media are asked to set up on the sidewalk opposite the south entrance of the Regional Justice Center along Clark Avenue. This is the location used in the past hearings in this case. The court will arrange to close Clark Ave. in front of the courthouse, if needed, prior to the hearing. Also, the Court Information Office will coordinate cable runs prior to the hearing.
