The supreme court intends to return to hearing in-person arguments starting next month, although the court is still restricting public access to the building.
The AP reports:
The high court announced Wednesday that the justices plan to return to their majestic, marble courtroom for arguments beginning in October, more than a year and a half after the in-person sessions were halted because of the coronavirus pandemic.
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.’
