I have added an “audio key” to the blog that attempts to provide a representative sound bite of each judge’s voice.\u00a0 Hopefully, this will help people identify a particular judge when listening to recordings of oral arguments.\u00a0 You’ll see the link to the audio key on the upper right hand portion of the site.<\/p>\n
If you are curious which judge is speaking during an oral argument recording, my suggestion is to:<\/p>\n
(1) pull up the decision (usually provided as a link on the web post);<\/p>\n
(2) note from the opinion who the judges on the panel are; and<\/p>\n
(3) use the following sound bites as an audio key to identify the speaker:<\/p>\n
Chief Judge Rader [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Newman [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Lourie [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Bryson [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Linn [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Dyk [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Prost [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Moore [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge O’Malley [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Reyna [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Circuit Judge Wallach [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n ——————–<\/p>\n Senior Judge Gajarsa [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Senior Judge Mayer [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Senior Judge Plager [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Senior Judge Clevenger [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n Senior Judge Schall [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n ——————–<\/p>\n Chief Judge Michel (retired) [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n ———————<\/p>\n Senior Judge Archer (deceased) [Listen<\/a>]<\/p>\n
