Description

This special anthology of papers investigates the relationship of contemporary mass and communicative media, and legal practice, decision making and regulation. The volume has two main areas: representations of law events in mass media, and use of digital and video media in legal practice. Topics include the use of video and digital tools in courtroom proceedings, and consequent understanding of video as a medium; the use of media technology in court case management, and televised proceedings of court. A special theme of the volume will be on how digital and new media, and audio-visual technology generally, can become a tool or accessory in mediation the process and outcome of legal administration, mediation and decision-making. However the two areas, of mass and new media, will be seen as inter-related. Attention will be also given to past, present and potential role of media in courtroom, mediation and client setting, and in case administration.
