Justice Amy Coney Barrett is expected to participate in her first oral arguments on the nation’s high court since being confirmed and sworn in one week ago.

The newly seated justice will hear two relatively low-profile cases on Monday: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service v. Sierra Club, Inc., a case involving the Freedom of Information Act; and Salinas v. Railroad Retirement Board, a dispute involving disability benefits for railroad employees.
