Same day availability of USSC Oral Arguments Available on Court's Website

The court reporter of the United States Supreme Court has made transcripts of the oral arguments available on the Court's website on the day of the argument. These transcripts are considered "official" but subject to final review. The transcripts are available for cases from the October 2000 term forward.

AALL has commended Chief Justice Roberts for making these available on the day of the argument, saying it is evidence of his desire to take advantage of the technology available and to promote greater access to Court information.
