Smollett's team has argued that the trial violated his Fifth Amendment protections against double jeopardy.
The hearing on Smollett's appeal begins at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The ruling is expected to take several weeks.
If his conviction is upheld, he will have to complete the 150-day jail sentence that was handed down in 2022. He spent only six days behind bars before he was released while he appealed his conviction.
