About Us

CVN is a news gathering and reporting organization that webcasts high-stakes civil litigation, and is the exclusive provider of courtroom video to Westlaw. Legal professionals across the country and around the world rely on CVN’s live and on-demand webcasts to monitor cases as they unfold. CVN covers cases large and small that have national, regional, or community interest.

In addition, the general public relies on CVN’s free newsfeed, Courtroom Views, for the latest on upcoming and in-progress litigation. Courtroom Views is distributed on the CVN website. Free subscriptions to Courtroom Views are also available via email, RSS, Twitter, and Facebook.

Free CVN case highlights video clips are available to the general public on CVN’s YouTube channel.

CVN live webcasts have been used by journalists from both traditional and new media to cover trials that they would not otherwise have been able to attend, including the New York Times, Reuters, the American Lawyer, the AmLaw Litigation Daily, Semiconductor International, re: The Auditors, the Complex Litigation Blog, and the Delaware Litigation Blog.

Attorneys also use CVN’s live courtroom webcasts to reduce travel, deploy teams more effectively, feed war rooms, and change the balance of power in litigation.

CVN’s video library is also an essential resource for skills development. All proceedings are shown gavel-to-gavel and commercial-free. Most CVN customers, including the students and faculty at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Duke, and more than 50 other leading law schools, subscribe to the entire video library for a low monthly price.
