The Courtroom View Network (CVN) is a paid version that combines the functionality of both Wild About Trial and The Law and Crime Network. While those networks are free, CVN runs on a subscription model. They have a bespoke service where users can subscribe to only view certain trials, almost like a trial pay-per-view.
The main reason someone would pay for this service is their back catalog of trials and how they organize it. Users can search for trials by industry, practice areas and even by people involved in a particular case.
This website would be of particular use to someone studying law or reporting on it. It may also appeal to attorneys and other legal professionals. The results from the site’s search are broken into small videos that save hours of scrubbing through irrelevant content. Their paid model means that there are no ads to contend with, unlike the previous two streaming services making the use of the site a little more seamless. CVN is basically the Netflix of Courtroom TV.
There are some free to use elements on the site mainly short articles about trial outcomes. The articles are usually accompanied by videos of the verdict being delivered or of key testimonies from the trial. Some of the site sections include Cases (current high profile cases); Industries (cases by some industries such as tobacco or finance), Practice Areas (negligence, product liability, tort law, tobacco, health law, insurance, pharmaceutical, and other practice areas); and trials by state.
