There is a *very important* patent case being deliberated tomorrow in NYC. I am SO tempted to ditch some important work to go. We will see… Whatever case, I will be following it closely. Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring a laptop into federal court?
ACLU attorneys Chris Hansen and Sandra Park will argue the case before Judge Robert W. Sweet of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Court. Other co-counsel in the lawsuit, including Daniel B. Ravicher, Executive Director of PUBPAT, as well as some plaintiffs and expert witnesses will also attend the hearing.
WHEN:
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
10:00 a.m. ESTWHERE:
Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse
Judge Robert Sweet’s Courtroom 18C
500 Pearl Street
New York, NY 10007
In general, you can’t bring a laptop into federal court, and it looks like S.D.N.Y.’s local rules prohibit them, as well as cell phones, cameras, and other transmitting or recording devices. Probably best to to have a pen and paper in a moderately-sized bag if you want to take notes.
