Less than a month ago, I excitedly reported about a courtroom reunion for appellate advocates and the Supreme Court justices.

Jinx!

With the recent surge in Delta variant Covid-19 infections, the North Carolina Supreme Court has postponed in-person oral arguments and reinstated remote oral arguments for the month of August–and possibly more.

Cannot say that I am really surprised.  All I can say at this point is, “Darn it.” And “Please folks, do your part to make this isolation abyss go away!”
