Supreme Court Oral Argument in Cruzan, Quill, Glucksberg

For those of you who need to reload the flash drive player in your car with something entertaining to listen to on your way to the beach, check out oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in end-of-life disputes.  I use clips from oral arguments in my classes all the time.  But as non-lawyers may not be aware of their availability, I thought that I'd write this post.  





The Oyez Project is a multimedia archive devoted to the Supreme Court of the United States and its work. It aims to be a complete and authoritative source for all audio recorded in the Court since the installation of a recording system in October 1955.   You can play oral arguments (and often opinion announcements) on the site or download the MP3 file.  Plus,  the audio is often linked to the text.
