In our continuing coverage of courts that prevent lawyers from carrying their cell phones, TechnoLawyer member Darren Cantor writes: "Colorado's Federal District Court has a local rule barring anything that can take a photograph. Thus, almost all newer generation cell phones, carried by attorney or otherwise, are barred. I have approached the Court Clerk, and "they are working" on some fix for this, but for now, those of us with multi-function devices (phone/PDA) do without. I just tell judges that I cannot set anything as the Marshall seized my calendar upon entry to the building. Maybe eventually one will figure out that this seizure is silly and we ought to join at least the 20th century, if not the 21st!"
