Second District Court of Appeal Now Archiving Oral Argument Webcasts

The Second District Court of Appeal is pleased to announce that oral argument webcasts for Los Angeles divisions will now be archived and available for public access. This enhancement to our digital services reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency and public access to court proceedings.

What This Means
Effective immediately, the public can access recordings of oral arguments held in Los Angeles divisions after their conclusion. Division Six is expected to implement archiving capabilities later this year.

How to Access Archived Webcasts
Archived webcasts will be available on the same webpage where live oral arguments are currently streamed. Users can locate past arguments by date. The archives will be accessible no later than 24 hours after the conclusion of oral arguments.

Reminder About Recording Restrictions
The Court reminds viewers that the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings remains in effect. Media representatives must request an order from the court before recording any portion of oral argument proceedings by submitting Form MC-500 at least five court days before the proceeding, unless good cause is shown.
