WASHINGTON โ She didn't have to wear a black robe or even be in Washington, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined her new colleagues at the Supreme Court on Monday to hear arguments for the first time. Like her colleagues, Barrett asked questions in both cases. As the junior justice, Barrett asked her questions last. So itโs unclear when Barrett will move in to her offices at the court, taking over the space of her predecessor, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

As she settles into her new office at the court, Barrett will be joined by four law clerks, usually recent law school graduates who have experience working for federal judges.

During a 2017 Rosh Hashana visit to a historic synagogue in Washington, Ginsburg told worshippers she believed being Jewish helped her empathize with other minority groups. โThe Jewish religion is an ethical religion. The demand for justice, for peace, for enlightenment runs through the entirety of Jewish history and Jewish tradition,โ she said at the award ceremony. Ginsburg understood what it meant for people to be excluded and โotheredโ and fought against that, said Sheila Katz, CEO of the National Council of Jewish Women.
