The coronavirus pandemic is forcing all courts to alter their procedures, but the US Supreme Court, imbued with an archaic, insular air and a majority of justices over age 65, will face a challenge to keep operating and provide public access to proceedings
The justices for years have refused to televise hearings, livestream the audio from sessions or even provide recordings of oral arguments the same day they are held. The Supreme Court of Canada, meanwhile, has been webcasting its proceedings for more than a decade, some lower US courts livestream audio of arguments, and many US state courts allow live TV coverage.The virus is bound to force Supreme Court justices into new territory. They may open their operations in more modern ways.
In March 2019, Alito and Kagan told a US House committee that televising sessions would be disruptive. They feared lawyers would speak in"soundbites" or justices' questions, which are sometimes offered in hypothetical scenarios, would be misinterpreted.But there is no getting around that this is an old-fashioned institution that resists change, for better and worse. The charm of another era permeates the courtroom, opened in 1935. Lawyers who argue receive a souvenir quill pen.
