I'm going to take a pass on helping you with this project, though. I think the reason some, not all, courts will allow lawyers in with their cell phones is that they know that court is the place that lawyers get their work done. I don't think it is discriminatory in nature, and, to be sure, if a lawyer is not respectful of the court's policies (i.e., forgets to put their phone on silent, and it repeatly goes off), then that lawyer won't be welcome in that court for long. I would put this in the category of "a battle not worth fighting." But good luck with it. Thank you for your comment. I’m going to take a pass on helping you with this project, though.

I would really like to have words with them. If you can find any of these policies in writing, or describe the record of this policy sufficiently enough for me to submit a written record request to the public body in question, I would be much obliged.
