Post wins case to open juvenile trial to the media

By Antonio D. French

Filed Friday, December 23 at 10:47 AM

The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled in the case of St. Louis Post-Dispatch v. The Honorable John F. Garvey. The case involved a media challenge to the closing of proceedings in a juvenile case. It was argued Tuesday, October 18, 2005.

In a unanimous per curiam decision that cannot be attributed to any particular judge, the Court ordered a peremptory (final) writ of prohibition to issue that requires the juvenile division to open the proceeding except as otherwise provided by law. Judges Richard Teitelman and Ronnie White wrote concurring opinions.
