The federal appeals court for the Southeast has started posting audio recordings of oral arguments on its website.

The move, prompted by a request from a nonprofit that disseminates legal information, brings the Atlanta-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit up to date with all but one of the federal circuit courts around the country. Only the Denver-based Tenth Circuit does not make argument recordings available on its website, while on the other end of the spectrum, the San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit livestreams video of many of its arguments.

“Access to these recordings is a blessing and a curse,” said Laurie Webb Daniel, who heads the appellate practice for Holland & Knight. “Appellate lawyers always second-guess themselves,” she added. “In the old days, that nagging feeling would subside fairly quickly. But now, you can play the oral argument over and over again and, as a perfectionist, you always will find ways to improve your performance.”
