...federal court of appeals recently overturned a motion by Harvard Law School professor Charles R. Nesson ’60 to allow what his staff says would have been the first Internet broadcast of a federal judicial proceeding to the general public in history. The development came in the midst of a case that Nesson is defending on behalf of Joel Tenenbaum, a graduate student at Boston University who faces up to $1 million in damages after being sued by several prominent record labels in 2005 for allegedly downloading seven songs from a file-sharing Web site in high school...
...Qasab, has, however, gotten his day in court only six months after being arrested, and his verdicts is expected within a year - an efficiency rarely seen in the Indian court system.

The court allowed the prosecution to present its opening arguments, for example, even though the newly appointed defense attorney had not yet read the 11,000-page charge sheet. (The judge acknowledged that he still hasn't finished the whole thing.) Qasab does not speak English, but there is no Urdu translator to explain the proceedings...
