Supreme Court Audio Recordings

Starting with its October 2010 term, the U.S. Supreme Court has begun releasing audio recordings of oral arguments at the end of each week in which arguments are held. This practice is a break from the past when audio recordings were typically unavailable until the start of the next term. The recordings are accessible from the court's website. C-SPAN issued a statement praising the change but advocating for a continuation of the court's policy of same day release for high-interest cases. Not surprisingly, C-SPAN also seeks eventual television coverage of all public sessions. Click here for access to the audio recordings of cases heard so far this term.
