Most U.S. Supreme Court justices met in person for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began, returning to their private conference room in Washington Friday after a year of holding their meetings remotely.

The in-person conference represents a step toward normalcy at an institution that reveres its traditions. All nine justices have been fully vaccinated, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
