to carry into the court facility electronic devices such as cellular or smart phones, laptops,
tablets, iPads, and other devices having wireless communications capability, subject to the
following:

make audio or video recordings in any court-related space, any public area located on
the same floor as a court-related space in the court facilities, or any other location in
which court business and proceedings are conducted.
(2) The Court prohibits the use of cellular telephones, pagers, or other electronic devices
in the courtroom. Such devices may be carried on the person within a courtroom only
if the device is silenced.
