Come hear an expert panel discuss a hypothetical real-life scenario involving these issues:
What are the limits of press coverage of a protest occurring on courthouse grounds? Or in the courthouse itself? Under what circumstances can a press photographer's camera and/or memory card be confiscated by law enforcement? What are the limits of press coverage or photography when a police officer gives a legitimate order to move? And more!
The panel will be moderated by Patrick Madden of WAMU and includes:
- Chief Judge Royce Lamberth, US District Court for DC
- Mary McCord, US Attorney's Office for DC
- Arthur Spitzer, ACLU of the Nation's Capital
- Mickey Osterreicher, National Press Photographers Association
- Chief Cathy Lanier, DC Metropolitan Police Department

The program is free and open to the public.
