The Iowa Supreme Court voted to allow cameras and tape recorders in most courtrooms for a one year trial beginning January 1. Chief Justice W Ward Reynoldson said the move tests if electronic press can fit with litigant rights and courtroom decorum. Certain proceedings remain closed without consent, and judges may remove equipment if disruption occurs. Witness objections must be filed before trials. The media is urged to act with discretion.
