Supreme Court returning to courtroom for arguments
By John Kruzel - 09/08/21 12:36 PM EDT
The justices will return to the Supreme Court next month to hold their first in-person oral arguments since the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
Courtroom access will be limited to the justices, court personnel, legal counsel and journalists during upcoming arguments, though the court is expected to provide live audio of the proceedings.
The court building remains closed to the public indefinitely due to ongoing health concerns, a court spokesperson said.
The new term next month will mark the first time the justices gather for in-person arguments since March 2020, when pandemic-era precautions first took hold.
The court went on to adopt a remote-work format, conducting arguments by telephone with the justices posing questions to legal counsel in order of seniority.
