The West Virginia Intermediate Court of Appeals (ICA) will leave their Charleston courtrooms on Tuesday to hear an argument docket at Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia. The event falls on Constitution Day. Proceedings will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the college’s Harper-McNeeley Auditorium.
Tuesday’s event is the third in the ICA on Campus series, aimed at engaging the public with the judiciary’s role in West Virginia. Judges have taught in selected colleges’ classrooms on topics such as checks and balances and disparities in the legal system based on socioeconomic factors like race and gender.
“Every part of life is tied, in one way or the other, to the law and our legal system,” Chief Justice Thomas Scarr said.
Scarr said the court tries to assemble on-the-road dockets with topics that interest students or have regional relevance along with engaging lawyers arguing the cases. Tuesday’s docket will include a West Virginia University Law student arguing a case, a first for the ICA.
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals will visit Williamstown Middle/High School on Oct. 8. Both courts’ oral arguments are always open to the public both in-person and via webcast on the West Virginia Judiciary YouTube page.
