Oral Argument
The Fourth Circuit hears oral argument in Richmond, Virginia, during September, October, December, January, March, and May, and at other locations as needed throughout the year. The cases to be argued are posted six weeks in advance, though the identity of the panel is not released until the morning of argument. A live audio stream of arguments is available from the Listen link on each page of the calendar. Arguments are digitally recorded, with audio links posted on the Internet site by the next business day. Email subscriptions and RSS feeds are available for the calendar of cases and for audio links.
