Audio tapes of oral arguments



A Sept. 28, 2010 item posted on the Blog of Legal Times carried the news that the US Supreme Court had just announced that "starting next week, it will post the audio of all its oral arguments on the Friday after they occur".

The Legal Times stated that the Court public information officer Kathy Arberg said that the Court's goal was to "provide the audio directly to the public, free of cost, and it significantly accelerates the release."

The Legal Times further stated that "numerous other courts, federal and state, routinely post the audio of arguments on their web sites, often immediately". The Supreme Court's audio "will be posted at the Court's web site". The Court "began taping oral arguments in 1955, but they were only made available to the public after the end of each term at the National Archives". The Court's announcement noted that the Archives will "will continue to be the official repository for the Court's audio recordings."

According to the Legal Times, "the justices have been under pressure from Congress in recent years to allow video and audio access to its proceedings, but they have resisted, offering instead incremental steps short of broadcast -- including same day release of printed transcripts -- in hopes of staving off what they view as congressional intrusion."

My question is is this: WHY CANNOT THE SUPREME COURT OF THE PHILIPPINES DO THE SAME THING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE DELIVERY OF JUSTICE IN THE COUNTRY?
