MADISON - Students and teachers from Monroe High School, Germantown High School and Waunakee High School will attend Supreme Court oral arguments today as part of the award-winning Court with Class educational program.
The students will learn about the Supreme Court by observing oral argument in person in the Supreme Court hearing room at the state Capitol. During oral argument, lawyers on each side of a case make their strongest legal points while justices ask questions.
After oral argument, the students meet with a justice, who explains the role of the Court and how a case is decided. The students will gain a better understanding of the Supreme Court, the judicial branch of government and the legal issues involved in a case.
Since 1996, thousands of public, private and home-schooled students have benefited from this program. Court with Class runs from September to April each year. Teachers interested in applying for Court with Class may download and complete a registration form from the State Bar's website and submit it by email to Supreme Court Deputy Marshal Kevin Pond at kevin.pond@wicourts.gov.
For more information, visit the State Bar's Court with Class website or contact Pond by email or by phone at 608-261-4313.
Space is limited.
Teachers and students who are unable to make it to Madison in person may view arguments live or archived online on WisconsinEye. A live audio stream and archived recordings of past oral arguments also are available online. Additional teaching resources are available on the Wisconsin court system's website. Synopses of cases argued before the court may be found at http://www.wicourts.gov/supreme/sc_oralargs.jsp.
