Delaware’s Court of Chancery would post public session recordings

The court would record all public proceedings and post the audio on a public website run by the Administrative Office of the Courts. This covers all public proceedings in Delaware’s Court of Chancery. A judge could limit public access for good cause. Each recording must say it is not an official court transcript. The recording requirement would start January 1, 2027. The court would post each recording within a reasonable time after the proceeding and adopt rules by December 3, 2026.

The presiding judge would issue a written order when withholding a recording or removing part of its audio. This applies when a judge limits access to all or part of a Court of Chancery recording. The judge must have good cause; reasons may include protecting confidential information, witnesses, or a fair trial. The order would be public unless confidentiality requires otherwise.
