What is OpenCourt’s archiving policy?
We will delay the availability of the archived material for two business days to allow for the redaction of specific problematic items e.g. the “blurting” of a minor victim’s name. Access to the archive will require free registration with the website and affirmative acceptance of the Terms of Use and the archive will remain free to all registered users. If we deem any portion of the recording inappropriate, we will redact it, using the same professional standards that WBUR does. There is also a process by which defense attorneys, the D.A.’s office or other involved parties may come to OpenCourt to ask for a redaction. Involved parties will continue to be able to request redaction even after a day’s recording is made public.
