I assume you are referring to the Federal Court System, since many state courts DO allow media of all types (except flash Photography). Reporters taking written notes and sketch artists may attend federal court hearings, it is only photographers and cameramen which they have ruled against.
Most court cases do not allow cameras into the courtroom, hence why they use sketches and transcriptions to inform the public.

No, in Alabama, a judge through your county court system is who will handle your custody hearings. DHR or DHS do not handle these but they may be involved in the hearings.
You may be referring to the word "hearings."
A circuit court clerk is responsible for managing court records, scheduling court hearings, collecting fees, and assisting judges with administrative tasks. They also provide support to attorneys, jurors, and the public during court proceedings.
In a courtroom context, the term "other hearing" typically refers to a legal proceeding that does not fall into the standard categories of trials or motions. It can encompass a variety of hearings, such as status conferences, preliminary hearings, or other procedural matters that need to be addressed by the court. These hearings allow judges to manage cases, address specific issues, or make interim decisions before a trial. The specifics can vary by jurisdiction and the nature of the case.
Come to think of it, I never recall the word being used in any televised court and borderline-legal proceedings such as the famous Watergate hearings.
In most legal systems, the court clerk or administrative staff is responsible for setting hearings and court dates based on the judge's schedule and availability. The judge may also have input on the timing of hearings, especially for significant cases or motions. In some instances, parties involved in a case can propose dates, but final scheduling is typically at the discretion of the court.

Yes, night court is a real thing. Night courts are special court sessions that operate during nighttime hours to handle certain legal matters, such as arraignments and emergency hearings. They are typically held to accommodate the schedules of individuals who cannot attend court during regular business hours.
No. Divorce is a matter for the state courts.
