The Supreme Court: Oral Arguments - Podcast Rankings and reviews

An incredibly useful + convenient resource for any American citizen -- or anyone else with an interest, professional or personal, in American jurisprudence. Many thanks to the law student who took the time to set up here, in podcast format, the audio recordings (and transcription) of oral arguments for each case taken up by the Supreme Court in real time.

A genuinely educational resource providing additional ease of access to the daily workings of our highest judicial body. Simple, to the point -- it is as it is described, oral arguments of the SC per case argued.

Always worth a browse / listen, even (or, rather, especially!) for the average American without a degree or career in law / justice. I have been shocked (/at times, disturbed) but just how many fellow Americans, regardless of how well-educated, have the same wildly erroneous view / conviction that cases heard before the SC are largely limited to those publicized on cable news, like Dobbs, etc., or hold the belief that the current president at any given time is "in control" of our highest courts and the cases that they hear. It is hard to follow this feed and maintain that level of ignorance, as listening to the cases being argued day after day prove that the work of our highest court is largely unsung, unpublicized, and uninfluenced by presidential sway at any given point in time. It is a simple service but does well to dispel popular misconceptions re: our highest courts and the justice system writ large, esp. in the wake of the highly politicized but poorly understood Dobbs decision "under" the last presidency.

Take a listen to begin to uncover how the Supreme Court operates on a day-to-day work basis, *how* they serve as the highest level of legislative authority, and how many cases are pled before this court without any public/media fanfare whatsoever.

I deeply appreciate the way you make Supreme Court oral arguments so accessible. The official site often falls short in providing an intuitive, podcast-like experience for listening to these proceedings, but you’ve achieved something remarkable by doing just that. Thank you!

I’ve listened to over 500 arguments in full, and the breadth of legal insight I’ve gained is invaluable. It’s a true pleasure and has been instrumental in fulfilling my ongoing passion for legal knowledge.

Once again, thank you!
