“Videos from 2017 Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference Program Now Available”: If, like me, you were wondering when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit would post online the video of the programs from this summer’s judicial conference, I’m pleased to report that it has happened, as noted in this recent news release. All the videos can be accessed via this link.

Readers may recall that Justice Neil M. Gorsuch attended the conference in place of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. Justice Gorsuch appears in the following videos: “Opening Ceremony and Naturalization Ceremony“: “2017 Ninth Circuit Civics Contest Award Winner Presentations“; and “Civics Education in the Ninth Circuit and Beyond: A Forum for Sharing New Ideas and Best Practices.”

Other videos from the conference that readers may find of interest include: “Korematsu: A Historical Overview“; “Supreme Court Review“; “One on One with the AO Director“; “Lies, Damn Lies, and the News? Fake News: What It Is, What It Means, and Why It Matters“; “Public Confidence in the Election Process“; and “May the Force Be With You: The Future of Science in the Courtroom.”

Just as the Ninth Circuit deserves tremendous accolades for posting video of its oral arguments online promptly, the Ninth Circuit has done a great service to lawyers and members of the general public who were unable to attend the Judicial Conference by making the Conference’s programming freely available online.
