Webcasts

The Nova Scotia Courts recognize that live webcasts of court proceedings are a proven way to help educate the public about the legal system. Since 2008, the Nova Scotia Courts have livestreamed dozens of matters — mostly appeals, sentencing decisions and certification hearings in class action lawsuits. To access the archived videos, please visit the Courts' Vimeo Page. 

Copyright and Re-broadcasting Webcasts

The webcasts of court proceedings may not be broadcast or re-broadcast by embedding them in another website or by any other means. However, portions of the webcasts (audio and video) may be re-broadcast as part of conventional news coverage. Hyperlinks to the live  webcast page and the page of archived videos on the Courts of Nova Scotia website are permitted.
