Oral arguments are open to the public and may be viewed in person or online.

Oral arguments begin promptly at 9 a.m., or another time specified on the court's docket. Ending time varies based on the number of cases scheduled, their complexity, and the number of questions asked by the court.

If you miss watching oral arguments live in person or online, recordings are archived for on-demand viewing.

Supreme Court dockets

The Supreme Court sits in Topeka six times a year for one-week periods and convenes occasionally for one-day travel dockets at locations around the state. Shorter special sessions may be scheduled as needed.

When a case does not present a new question of law, and oral argument is deemed neither helpful to the court nor essential to a fair hearing of the appeal, it is placed on the summary calendar. These cases are deemed submitted without oral argument.
