The high court started showing oral arguments yesterday through a Web site, joining at least 16 other states in employing the technology. The court estimated it had about 1,700 online viewers for its first Webcast, said Susan Clary, a spokeswoman for the court.
It's gone great. No hitches," Clary said.
Kentucky joins states from Alaska to Florida in Webcasting oral arguments.
"Broadcasting Supreme Court oral arguments live gives every citizen access to our proceedings and an opportunity to see their highest court doing its work," Chief Justice Joseph Lambert said.
To see a Webcast, viewers go to the Supreme Court Web site, www.courts.ky.gov, and click on "Supreme Court LIVE."
Kentucky's high court finally had the technology in place to start Webcasting after studying the idea for several years, Clary said. The court is also looking into having attorneys file court records online, which is similar to what many federal courts require, Clary said.

This is a huge, historical, and monumental step forward in which the justices, the court, and AOC should all be proud and appropriately commended.
