Many states are now offering audio and in some states video files of oral arguments. For example, if you have a moot court problem that involves Massachusetts law you might want to check out the Suffolk Law School oral argument page and then take a look at some of the oral arguments archived on it. There are no live broadcasts scheduled until February 8th so you will need to look in the archives to find a video file. These are high quality video files with good audio.
Although the Massachusetts arguments are a good learning tool under any circumstances, you might be able to find an argument potentially relevant to your own moot court problem by checking the Supreme Judicial Court's site for a relevant case, noting the docket number and then finding the argument for that case in the archive. You can do the same by finding a relevant case using Westlaw or Lexis - just look right under the case name to find the docket number.
Tech note - You will need Windows Media Player but the Massachusetts application supports the Mac version.
