OT: The Supreme Court in the UK has a YouTube channel [1] where videos of judgements are posted (usually very soon after they take place). I'd be interested to know if the SCOTUS has a similar service. I can't find it on YouTube but maybe they can be accessed elsewhere?

Edit:

Thanks to the below commenters.




Point for debate: Between the extremes of transparency and commodification where should we strike the publication balance?

e.g. If an organization/individual has ulterior motives (of fears) for testifying in a case other than the limited outcome of the legal question, it has the ability to sway their testimony.

I'd rather see Thomas sleeping than hear Sotomayor talking.


The 9th Circuit (an appeals court right below the Supreme Court) puts their cases on youtube also.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObZDipKRH0c is somewhat infamous :-)


The audio of the oral arguments is posted online on the website, but the decisions are not (I think). The text of the decisions is freely available on many websites, though. As for the arguments, there are also several websites which include transcripts, and even some that sync the transcript with the audio.

They are.

I meant the audio from when they deliver the opinion (they don't read the whole thing, but often discuss it a little).


Ah, I misunderstood. I believe you're correct about that -- I always get the opinions from ScotusBlog, and admittedly have never looked for the opinion delivery audio.


Brazil has a TV channel transmitting all sessions (and YouTube too)
