Ohio Loc. App. R. 25
Any media representative or member of the public that wishes to broadcast, televise, record, or photograph a proceeding in this court must submit a written request to the court administrator at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled time. If a majority of the judges determines that granting such a request will not distract the participants or interfere with the proceedings, the court will grant the request subject to any conditions the court deems necessary. If the court receives a request less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time a proceeding is scheduled to start, the court will consider the request if good cause is shown justifying the late filing. In those situations where someone makes a request less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled time, the person may submit the request directly to the presiding or administrative judge of the court.
The court will direct the placement of the equipment and operators, and the court may limit the number of cameras, recording devices, and other equipment in the courtroom. Those seeking to broadcast, televise, record, or photograph a proceeding are encouraged to arrange for pooling equipment themselves without imposing on the court or court personnel. If a dispute does occur over the pooling of equipment, the court may exclude all contesting representatives from the proceedings.
The use of equipment that produces distracting sound or light is prohibited. If someone who has requested permission under this rule fails to comply with the conditions set by the court, the court may revoke that permission.
