Welcome to Argument Aloud
A Media Hub for U.S. Supreme Court Arguments and Related Information
Highlights
For The Sake of Argument
Every U.S. Supreme Court case ends in a decision, but it starts with arguments, and those arguments come in many forms: the initial petition, a series of briefs, and then usually oral arguments, all of which have been recorded since October 1955 and transcribed since October 1968.
Unfortunately, all those pieces tend to be scattered across websites like The Oyez Project, The National Archives, and last but not least, The U.S. Supreme Court, which directs you to different pages for every one of those pieces. Other essential bits of information, such as copies of statutes, records from the lower courts, etc, can usually be found in the briefs or elsewhere, but you have to know where to look.
So we’ve created this Media Hub to help connect those pieces. Here’s an example: an excerpt from the March 23, 2026 argument in Watson v. RNC (No. 24-1260), with links to documents that activate automatically as the argument progresses.
This website barely scratches the surface of what is possible, but hopefully it will give you sense of what a modern UI can accomplish, and maybe it will even inspire others to “follow suit.”
