Get with the Times: Why the Use of Live Two-Way Video Testimony Does Not Violate the Confrontation Clause

However, the Su- preme Court has yet to rule on whether the use of two-way video technolo- gy violates our Confrontation Clause rights. This Comment reviews and develops the legal landscape in the Supreme Court and the federal circuits in regards to the use of this technology in the courtroom. With the legal landscape in mind, this Comment asserts that the use of two-way video tes- timony does not violate the Confrontation Clause. This Comment adopts the view that this technology satisfies the current two-prong test under Mary- land v. Craig because it serves important public policies and the testimony via this technology is reliable. . J.D., Michigan State University College of Law 2018.

Law- rence for his insight, suggestions, and comments during my research and writing process of this Com- ment. His help was invaluable. Thank you to Mr. Tim Gower, a family friend, for his insight and advice on getting published. To all of the educators in my career, this would not be possible without you. Final- ly, I would like to thank my parents for their continued love and support. 461
