A. Judicial proceedings. The purpose of judicial proceedings is to ascertain the
truth. Such proceedings should be conducted with fitting dignity and decorum, in a
manner conducive to undisturbed deliberation, indicative of their importance to the
people and to the litigants, and in an atmosphere that bespeaks the responsibilities of
those who are charged with the administration of justice.
B. Nonjudicial proceedings. Proceedings, other than judicial proceedings,
designed and carried out primarily as ceremonies, and conducted with dignity by judges
in open court, may properly be photographed in or broadcast from the courtroom with
the permission and under the supervision of the court.
