The United States Supreme Court and individual state supreme courts are beginning to incorporate video and audio to make the judicial system more available to the public. Public use of supreme court videos allows the public to stay educated and informed in what is going on in society.
Supreme court videos may be accessible in multiple formats. Court videos can be accessed through live streaming. Live streaming means that an individual can visit the website of the chosen supreme court and watch a supreme court event live as it happens. These live streamed events will often be archived for future viewing.
Videos, especially US Supreme Court videos, are also often accessible by archive. An archived video may once have been streamed live, or it may have been prerecorded and then released to the public.
The US Supreme Court does not release video recordings of cases and decisions. Individual state supreme courts may release video or audio recordings of cases and decisions, but that varies by state.
It is easy to find videos about the United States Supreme Court with an internet search.
Being informed about the judicial system of the United States is important as a United States citizen and videos have made that easier for the public.
