TikTok is making an emergency appeal before the highest court, asking it to block enforcement of a federal law that effectively bans the app on Jan. 19 .

The company's arguments that the law should be overturned in the name of free speech will be aired at a hearing Jan. 10 , just 10 days before Donald Trump is sworn in as president.

The TikTok case will likely be the most prominent corporate case to be argued before the Supreme Court in 2025 .

R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. challenged an FDA ban on flavored e-cigarettes.

The tobacco maker filed the challenge in a New Orleans -based federal appeals court known as the Fifth Circuit .

The FDA asked for a Supreme Court review of the case.

The case could expand or limit the Justice Department's reach to go after financial wrongdoing.
