• The Ninth Circuit already had decades of experience in providing the public with complete and simultaneous access to the public workings of the appellate court. In addition, the Court had extensive experience with judges appearing by video, and, upon special circumstances, advocates arguing by video.
• In 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals began streaming live audio for oral arguments for court users.
• The Court established a YouTube channel in 2010 for the purposes of offering previously recorded oral arguments to the public. By 2012, occasional important cases were being live-streamed, and in January of 2015 the Court begin to live-video stream all normal oral arguments from its 11 regular courtrooms on the West coast, as well as the bi-annual use of district and bankruptcy courtrooms in Honolulu and Anchorage, and occasional oral argument sessions held at law schools.
