An oral arguments session will be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center today as a part of Marshall’s Constitution Celebration.
Students can attend for free; however, prior registration is requested, security measures will be in place and proper courtroom etiquette is expected to be followed.
“One important part of a college education involves preparing students to exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship,” said Dr. Montserrat Miller, executive director of the Drinko Academy.
“During our annual U.S. Constitution Celebration, we offer non-partisan programs designed to build student appreciation for the culture of democratic self-government.”
The event is a part of the annual Constitution Celebration, sponsored by John Deaver Drinko Academy and the Simon Perry Center for Constitutional Democracy, and hosts multiple other events for the celebration, including an Amicus Curiae Lecture on Sept. 12, events for National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 19 and a First Amendment Forum on Sept. 27.
