The Local Rules were last amended on December 1, 2020. At that time, Local Civil Rule 83.3 and Local Criminal Rule 53 were amended to make plain that no external participant may record a court proceeding. In doing so, the Court sought to address advancements in technology and media that broaden the way proceedings could be captured. The Court also sought to make clear that only one official court record exists.
