ADM File No. 2004-48
                                                               

Rescission of Administrative 
Order No. 1990-7
(Videotape Record of
Court Proceedings)
                    

     On order of the Court, Administrative Order No. 1990-7 is rescinded, effective immediately.

Staff Comment:  Administrative Order No. 1990-7 expanded previous Administrative Order
1989-2 authorizing courts to seek approval by the State Court Administrative Office to use videotape
court recording systems on a pilot basis.  The emergence of digital technology and the widespread use
of video court recording by the trial courts have rendered this order obsolete.  Standards and guidelines
for video court recording systems have been updated and included in the SCAO [Trial Court
Case File Management Standards].  

     The staff comment is not an authoritative construction by the Court.
