The coronavirus pandemic is forcing the US Supreme Court to adopt some extraordinary changes.
Over the next two weeks, America’s highest court will hear court arguments over the phone for the first time in its history. Audio from the proceedings will also be live-streamed.
Most lawyers will be making their cases from the comfort of their homes – though the government’s lawyers will be in the office of the Solicitor General, a few blocks from the court.
And in a nod to formality, they’ll wear their usual formal attire during the proceedings.
Several high-profile cases are scheduled to go ahead, including one about President Trump’s financial records.
