新澳门六合彩开奖结果

Justices of the Washington State Supreme Court will be at 新澳门六合彩开奖结果, February 22 and 23. The visit is part of a travelling court outreach program in which justices travel to two or three communities around Washington each year to hear real cases and talk with community members about the judicial branch. 

On Wednesday, justices will visit classrooms, enjoy lunch with student groups and engage in conversation with SU faculty, leadership and alumni.

On Thursday, the justices will hear oral arguments in three cases (listed below) at Sullivan Hall, Room C5. The public is welcome to attend the oral arguments, which begin at 9 a.m. and will include time for a Q and A with audience members. 

“These kinds of traveling arguments provide a chance to expose people to the work of the courts, something most non-lawyers never have an opportunity to experience,” explains 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 President Eduardo Peñalver. “For 新澳门六合彩开奖结果, this visit presents a unique opportunity for our students to interact with this important branch of government and to see brilliant jurists and legal advocates in action.”

School of Law Dean Tony Varona, recently appointed as the co-chair of the Supreme Court's Bar Licensure Task Force, is thrilled the justices will visit campus this week. 

“The Court leads the nation not only in its unprecedented diversity but also in its pathbreaking civil rights and criminal justice decisions. It is no wonder that the Court is celebrated nationally as well as internationally for its forward-looking and innovative jurisprudence.”

The Court sent out the following release on the visit:

Washington Supreme Court justices will visit with students from 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 on February 22nd and hear oral arguments in three cases on February 23rd at the Law School in Sullivan Hall Room C5. The public is welcome to attend the oral arguments, which begin at 9 a.m. and will include time for questions from the audience.

The visit is part of a travelling court outreach program in which justices travel to two or three communities around Washington each year to hear real cases and talk with community members about the judicial branch. The justices most recently visited Gonzaga University in October 2022.

“The court is deeply appreciative of the opportunity to hear these cases in local communities across Washington. We know our opinions affect everyone and we welcome the chance to have the public see us do our work in person,” said Supreme Court Chief Justice Steven González. “We also appreciate the opportunity to talk with students, faculty and members of the public. We enjoy answering questions and helping increase understanding of how the court system works.”

On Wednesday, February 22, the Justices will visit a variety of law and undergraduate classes at 新澳门六合彩开奖结果, enjoy lunch with various SU students and groups and engage in conversation with 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 faculty, leadership and alumni.

Two Justices, Associate Chief Justice Charles Johnson and Justice G. Helen Whitener are alumni of SU Law.

“We are thrilled to be hosting the Washington Supreme Court for its oral arguments and related events at SU Law,” says SU Law Dean Tony Varona, recently appointed as the co-chair of the Supreme Court’s Bar Licensure Task Force. “The Court leads the nation not only in its unprecedented diversity but also in its pathbreaking civil rights and criminal justice decisions.
