Broadcasting inside courtrooms is nothing new in the United States but is extremely rare in Canada. Many of us remember the O.J. Simpson trial and watching the travesty unfold live on television. In Canada, trials of first instance are almost never televised. The Supreme Court of Canada has broadcast most of its proceedings on the Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC) since the 1990s. Anyone who has flipped past this channel knows that unless you are a lawyer, it is about as exciting as watching paint dry.
