Online Audio Access Starts for 9th Circuit Hearings

The public can now listen to hearings from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals online.

The court said Thursday it will offer online audio access to all of its proceedings beginning with its hearings next week in Pasadena. It’s the first time a federal appeals court has provided the service.

The court is one of the few federal courts that have allowed television coverage of some of its hearings. It is based in San Francisco and covers nine Western states.
