The audio of cases being heard at the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse, shown in 2008, will be livestreamed as part of a two-year pilot program.
Observers of federal court in St. Louis will get more chances this year to listen to certain hearings without having to be at the courthouse.
The Eastern District of Missouri is one of 13 courts participating in a pilot program allowing audio livestreaming of court proceedings on YouTube. While the program temporarily lifts a ban on broadcasts of proceedings, they cannot be recorded.
“Our job is to provide a full and fair forum for parties to resolve their disputes, but always in the context of an open courthouse,” said U.S. District Judge Audrey Fleissig of the Eastern District. She is a member of the national committee on court administration that developed the protocols for the pilot program.
CHARLESTON – William R. “Bill” Wooton has been sworn into office for a 12-year-term on the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.
The ceremony took place December 30. Wooton was elected June 9 to replace Justice Margaret Workman, who retires December 31. His term officially begins January 1.
“My aspiration as a Justice is to emulate the truly outstanding work of Justice Workman,” Wooton said. “It’s an honor to join the Court.”
The oath of office was delivered by Justice John Hutchison, a fellow Raleigh County native, who said Wooton is intelligent, easy to work with and dedicated.
“I am convinced that Bill will be a fantastic addition to the court,” Hutchison said.
