COVID-19 courts update: just spoke with the D.C. Circuit executive who told me Chief Judge Srinivasan will be on the phone with the U.S. Courts Administrative Office Friday afternoon, before issuing any orders restricting access. @CourthouseNews

D.C. Circuit is considering if lawyers and judges cannot appear in court due to the coronavirus holding arguments on a teleconference line that up to 1,000 people can call into, including members of the public.
