The audio recordings of all oral arguments heard by the Supreme
Court of the United States are available to the public at the
end of each argument week. The audio recordings are posted on
Fridays after Conference.
The public may either download the audio
files or listen to the recordings on the Court’s Web
site. The audio recordings are listed by case name,
docket number, and the date of oral argument.
The Court began audio recording oral
arguments in 1955. The recordings are maintained at The
National Archives and Records Administration. Prior to
the 2010 Term, the recordings from one Term of Court were not
available until the beginning of the next Term. The
Archives will continue to serve as the official repository for
the Court’s audio recordings.
