Are witnesses, jurors, or others in courtrooms distracted by in-court television cameras and their operators? Citing a lack of evidence one way or the other, the US Supreme Court has recommended additional research on the matter. Answering the court’s recommendation, this proof-of-concept study demonstrates for the first time that eye-tracking technology can now accurately determine whether courtroom actors look at the television cameras in the courtroom and for how long. In doing so, Television Courtroom Broadcasting opens the door to a new era of research on the effects of in-court distraction.

REVIEWS Icon

'In Television Courtroom Broadcasting: Distraction Effects and Eye Tracking, Paul Lambert tackles a very sensitive and controversial topic - Television Courtroom Broadcasting and its effects, which has been actively or passively ostracized not only by government, law departments, but by the scientific community as well. With this book, he showed that a New World of research on the effects of in-court distraction is waiting. In fact, “eye tracking kills the subjective reports stars” and eye movements, as true direct measure of importance, should serve in future, as a reliable source of information for Judges, Lawyers and Policy-makers.'
