The Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District will hold a special session at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, in the School of Law’s Bryan Cave Moot Courtroom in Anheuser-Busch Hall.
The public is invited to hear cases involving a personal injury claim, a domestic violence situation and a lease settlement.
The court periodically holds sessions in law schools as part of an educational program.
The judges hearing oral arguments are Robert G. Dowd Jr., J.D.; Lawrence E. Mooney, J.D.; Glenn A. Norton, J.D.; and Sherri B. Sullivan, J.D.
After the special session, the judges will be available to answer general questions about judicial procedure as well as judicial clerkships.
To limit the amount of disturbances to the proceedings, visitors are asked to enter and exit the courtroom only during breaks between each attorney’s oral arguments.
Case briefs for the oral argument session will be linked from the law school’s home page.
Thor Hearne, J.D., a law school alumnus who will be arguing before the Court of Appeals, will meet with first-year law students after the special session to discuss his argument preparation and the legal practice.
