courtroom sketch
Hearing depicted manually
A courtroom sketch is a drawing made by an artist during legal proceedings, depicting defendants, attorneys, judges, and witnesses.
Because many courts prohibit photography and video recording, these sketches serve as the primary visual record for news coverage of trials: The courtroom sketch showed the defendant slumped at the defense table.
