Courtroom View Network (CVN), the media division of Courtroom Connect, is a US company webcasting video from civil trials.[1][2][3][4] CVN is also the exclusive non-judicial provider of trials video to Westlaw.[5]

[edit] Overview
CVN webcasts courtroom proceedings, including civil trials, hearings, and oral arguments. CVN’s video has been used by the New York Times,[6][7][8] Wall Street Journal,[9][10] Reuters,[11][12][13] Bloomberg,[14][15][16] Associated Press,[17] TheStreet,[18] The American Lawyer,[19] and LawyersUSA.[20] Prominent trials are sometimes live-blogged using a video feed from Courtroom View Network.[21][22]
[edit] Background
CVN was founded in 2006. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, CVN also has offices in New York City, NY; Washington, D.C.; and Sunnyvale, California.
[edit] Litigation
On October 14, 2008, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York held that CVN was entitled to webcast a federal hearing over the objection of one of the parties.[23]
On April 16, 2009, a federal district court's order allowing CVN to webcast a hearing in a high-profile copyright infringement case[24][25] was reversed by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit,[26] which blocked the webcast.
On December 3, 2010, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that Courtroom View Network was a member of the news media and a news gathering organization entitled to webcast courtroom proceedings in Massachusetts.[27]
