Media and the Courts Conflict Resolution Panel

A blue-ribbon Media and the Courts Conflict Resolution Panel can be called upon by any member of the media or any judge at any time to offer advice or serve as a resource to resolve significant conflict that might arise among the media and the Idaho courts. This panel has been established by the Media/Courts Committee to help sort out significant conflicts of courtroom coverage on a case-by-case basis. The panel can speak with or mediate on behalf of any lawyer, judge or journalist facing a “free press/fair trial issue.” The Conflict Resolution Panel can readily suggest ways that fair trial concerns can be addressed while preserving public access to the courts.

The following people have agreed to serve on the Conflict Resolution Panel:
