The public is going to get a rare peek inside the U.S. Supreme Court next month as it goes virtual with a livestream of arguments, including some regarding Trump's financial records.

On May 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments by telephone, according to an announcement it made on Monday.

The court building in D.C. is closed so the Justices, including our girl Ruth Bader Ginsburg, will be doing their jobs remotely. While the announcement says a live audio feed will be provided to the media, a court spokeswoman told the New York Times that it would also be available to the public.

There will be 10 sets of arguments heard throughout the six days, but the court did not specify which would be heard when.

The most interesting cases include "Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania," "Trump v. Pennsylvania," "Trump v. Vance," "Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP, and "Trump v. Deutsche Bank AG."

The last two are congressional subpoenas while Trump v. Vance is a grand jury subpoena for President Donald Trump's financial records relating to alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and another woman during his 2016 presidential campaign, according to NPR.

The court has posted audio online following the arguments each week, but it still hasn't moved to live broadcast coverage, so this is a first.

If you fancy a federal court case, then happy listening!
