Nebraska Supreme Court to Convene at Beatrice High School in Beatrice, Nebraska, on November 3, 2017

As part of the Nebraska Supreme Court’s ongoing outreach and education efforts, Supreme Court Justices will hold oral arguments in the Hevelone Center on the Beatrice High School Campus on November 3, 2017, at 1:00 p.m.

The visit is part of a continuing effort by the Nebraska Supreme Court and the legal community to raise awareness of court processes and the importance of civics education to American society.

For over 30 years, the Supreme Court has traveled annually to each of Nebraska’s law schools for the purpose of making the Court’s business accessible to students on their campuses. This marks the second time this year that the Supreme Court has held arguments on a high school campus. Justices will hear two cases and spend time after the argument session talking to students about the appellate process and career opportunities as lawyers. Cases are selected to demonstrate the variety of legal arguments that face the court system on a regular basis.

All argument sessions, whether held in the Supreme Court courtroom or outside of the State Capitol, are open to the public.
