The justices are putting the “court” back in Supreme Court. The high court says justices plan to return to their marble courtroom for arguments in October, nearly 19 months after the in-person sessions were halted because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In this Friday, Sept. 3, 2021 photo, the Supreme Court is shown in Washington. The Supreme Court plans to return to in-person arguments in October, but no public allowed.
The court said that oral arguments scheduled for October, November and December will be in person but that: “Out of concern for the health and safety of the public and Supreme Court employees, the Courtroom sessions will not be open to the public.” Because of the pandemic, Barrett has yet to be part of a traditional courtroom argument, with the justices asking questions of lawyers in rapid succession, jockeying for an opening to ask what’s on their minds. Hearing cases by phone was more staid and polite, with the justices taking turns asking questions, one by one, in order of seniority. That often meant the arguments went longer than their scheduled hour.
One change from the remote arguments will stay for now. The justices said they will continue their practice during the pandemic of allowing audio of oral arguments to be broadcast live by the news media. Before the pandemic, the court would only very occasionally allow live audio of arguments in particularly high profile cases. That meant that the only people who heard the arguments live were the small number of people in the courtroom.
