Some people may prefer to go into the courtroom to give their evidence rather than use a TV link. You can be a witness using a screen. This can help if you're worried about seeing a particular person in the courtroom. A screen can be put up in the courtroom, so that you don't have to look at that person. The screen is a 'room divider' like a curtain.

You won't be able to see the person, but you'll still be able to see other people in the courtroom such as the judge or sheriff, children's reporter, lawyers and other court staff. The screen is usually used with a camera so that everyone on the other side of the screen, including the accused if you are a witness in Criminal court case, can see you.
