We’re thrilled to introduce the latest upgrade to CourtListener: transcripts for oral arguments!
CourtListener already hosts the largest collection of oral argument audio online—over 3.2 million minutes (and counting). Now, thanks to our partnership with OpenAI, we’re making these recordings even more powerful. With today’s release, you can now search them, set alerts, and even follow along line-by-line with the transcripts.
Audio recordings are a vital part of the legal record. By making them searchable, we’re helping lawyers, researchers, journalists, and the public dive deeper into the legal process with greater speed and ease than ever before.
We are proud that this feature enhances accessibility for the deaf and hard of hearing community, which includes hundreds of lawyers. The Interim Chief Executive Officer at the National Association of the Deaf, Bobbie Beth Scoggins, Ed.D., had this to say:
The release of transcripts for oral arguments on CourtListener represents a significant advancement in accessibility. The Deaf and Hard of Hearing community deserves the opportunity to understand and participate in legal discussions fully. We’re grateful for Free Law Project’s efforts to make this critical resource available to all.
