The U.S. Supreme Court last week announced that it will close out oral arguments for the current session as it began, in teleconference sessions with justices and lawyers participating remotely. The public information office said the argument sessions scheduled for later this month and on May 4 will be held telephonically in keeping with COVID-19 public health guidance. Under usual court tradition, oral arguments would not resume until next October, but there is no word yet what plans are in place for the 2021-2022 term, CNN reports. The justices have not conducted arguments in their courtroom since March 2020. They heard their first case by teleconference last May.
