IN Supreme Court To Allow Cameras On National Adoption Day

IN Supreme Court To Allow Cameras On National Adoption Day

In celebration of National Adoption Day, the Indiana Supreme Court will be allowing still photography, audio and video coverage of a select number of uncontested adoptions from Friday through Nov. 22.

Typically, photography and audio and visual recordings aren’t permitted inside Indiana courtrooms. For this limited time – and for the purpose of raising awareness of the value of adoption – families and media may record the adoption events inside the courtrooms with the parties’ consent and at the judge’s discretion.  Recording and photography cannot interrupt court proceedings.
