We’re fortunate in Texas that #SCOTX has been webcasting its oral arguments for over *17* years since 2007! 👀 Watch them anytime at: https://t.co/ZchWwHQ0g4 🍿 Or listen to oral arguments going back a *half-century* to 1979: https://t.co/Cv8npOEB9s 🎧 #AppellateTwitter ⚖️
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Courts should—whenever possible—livestream their proceedings. The courts belong to the people.

One of only two Texan-born #SCOTUS Justices, what a legacy of outstanding public service Sandra Day O’Connor leaves behind after a life particularly well lived. Here she is at @SCOTXHistSocy’s 2013 Hemphill Dinner with fmr #SCOTX CJ Jefferson & every living woman SCOTX Justice.

Justice Mark Whittington advises lawyers to keep their briefs simple. Not necessarily at a 10th grade level: but your client has to understand the brief. #AppellateTwitter. https://t.co/nrd1g2mres
