The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments at the University of Colorado at Boulder School of Law on March 13 in the Lindsley Memorial Courtroom from 9 a.m. to noon.
Â鶹ÒùÔº will get a chance to hear oral arguments in numerous cases, including the Joseluis Saenz v. Department of Interior case on possession of eagle feathers, whose brief was authored by CU-Boulder law student Laranne Arbaugh under the supervision of former Indian Law Clinic director Jerilyn DeCoteau.
CU's Career Services will co-sponsor a brownbag panel of judges on judicial process and hiring for clerkships, and students also will be given the opportunity to ask the presiding judges questions during the discussion following the arguments.
It is a rare occurrence for the 10th Circuit to hold court on campus. It last held arguments at CU six years ago.
"It is a tremendous honor to have the court holding arguments on campus this year and an incredible educational opportunity for our students that few other schools can offer," said legal writing instructor James B. Levy.
The 10th Circuit is second in authority only to the U.S. Supreme Court. It hears appeals in all federal cases from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.
