Who's Afraid of Cameras in the Courtroom

Are good artists prohibited from drawing in courtrooms? I'm not familiar with the rules, so I'm curious if a photo realistic artist could draw the scene.

Short deadlines and photorealism are not very compatible.

Maybe we should require all video be run through a cell-shader pass before it airs

Courtroom artists serve exactly that function - to sketch the scene in courtrooms where cameras are not allowed, for distribution through the news media. I'm not sure what the trend is but I wouldn't be surprised if it is a waning profession, given increasing number of courts that allow photography/video.
