Order Implementing Procedures for the Filing of Highly Sensitive Documents
On February 9, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit issued this order implementing new procedures for the filing of highly sensitive documents.

Public Advisory Concerning the Court's Sitting Schedule

Public access to live audio of oral argument will be available at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiq_Kg0zEPrjMFK_s-KP5_g/. After the end of each day's arguments, audio recordings of each argument will be available on the court's website. Please direct any media inquiries to Susan Goldberg, Circuit Executive, by email at Susan_Goldberg@ca1.uscourts.gov or by phone at (617) 748-9614.
