INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO GET TO PLNU:
Address: 3900 Lomaland Drive
92106, San Diego CA
As you approach the university, stop by the Welcome Center where you will find a Public Safety officer. Let the officer know that you are here for an SPJ event in the Bond Academic Center.
Continue to drive in and at the second stop sign turn left. Keep going until you see a Parking Lot on your left. Turn into the lot and park there.
Feel free to find other parking options if the Commuter Lot is full.
If you are coming from the Commuter Lot, keep walking straight past a grassy area until you reach a wide sidewalk made of bricks. Walk down that sidewalk and you should arrive at the Bond Academic Center which will be on your right.
(There will be a sign to guide you there and you’ll see catering outside the classroom).
If you park elsewhere, the Greek structure in the middle of campus is right next to that wide sidewalk. If you can keep track of where it is as you drive in, you’ll be able to find the sidewalk and then Bond Academic Center.

What is the best approach to informing the public of important developments in court proceedings while still maintaining the dignity and solemnity of the judicial process? Does the federal prohibition of cameras in the courtroom promote or detract from the rule of law?
Have state courts allowed cameras to turn trials into media circuses? Do California state court rules provide sufficient guidelines for access to justice for the media and the public?
Join the Superior Court, SDCBA, and SPJ for an evening of stimulating discussion and debate exploring these issues from the perspectives of a federal court judge, a state court judge, an attorney who has litigated cases attracting significant media attention, and an experienced journalist who has navigated both systems.
The SDCBA thanks its sponsor for assisting in the county bar’s support for this event: SheppardMullin.
