On Dec. 2, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals announced that it would begin live video streaming of its en banc proceedings. There are about 20 such instances each year when a group of 11 judges hear a case that had been decided by a three-judge panel. The live video streaming in these cases is an excellent development, but it is far too limited: there should be live video streaming of every appellate argument, including in the U.S. Supreme Court.
