Supreme Court to hold first-ever live video webcast to honor Scalia
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday will honor the late Justice Antonin Scalia with its first-ever live video webcast.
The Scalia memorial webcast begins at 1:45 p.m. Eastern Time and can be accessed at the Supreme Court website, according to LawSites by Robert Ambrogi and the National Law Journal (sub. req.). The announcement is here.
Former Scalia law clerk Paul Cappucio, the executive vice president and general counsel of Time Warner, will lead the memorial. It will be followed by a special session of the Supreme Court that will not be broadcast.
Gabe Roth, executive director of Fix the Court, called the decision to webcast the event “a shock, though a much appreciated one.” Fix the Court has called for greater Supreme Court transparency.
