DCCA Remote Oral Arguments

The court is conducting oral arguments via videoconference. The public may view the argument in real time at the DC Court of Appeals YouTube channel.

If you are the arguing attorney or a self-represented party in a virtual oral argument, court staff will email you the link for the videoconference, so please ensure we have your current email address and phone number (please check the efiling system or call the Public Office at (202) 879-2700). The participant protocol (PDF) provides technical guidance and best practices.

The DC Courts have remote hearing sites (PDF) available in various locations in the community to help persons who may not have computer devices or internet service at home to participate in scheduled DCCA remote oral arguments or mediations.

The next Oral Arguments will begin on Thursday, January 27th at 9:30 am on the DC Court of Appeals YouTube channel. You may need to refresh the YouTube page to see the video window after the start time.
