DC Circuit to Start Live Audio Streaming All Oral Arguments

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will livestream audio of all oral arguments starting in the 2018-19 term except those involving classified or sealed matters, the court said Wednesday. It said it has been live audio streaming arguments on request since October (see 1712190060) and Chief Judge Merrick Garland said livestreaming all will bring additional transparency. Argument will be available via the court's website under Live Audio Streaming. It said audio recordings will continue to be posted by 2 p.m. the day of argument. UHF discount oral argument earlier this month was streamed (see 1804200059).
