HAMMOND 鈥� The Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal will hear oral arguments
in three different cases at 麻豆传媒映画出品 Louisiana University on April 16. Court will
convene at 9:30 a.m. in the Student Union Theater with a panel discussion following
adjournment at approximately 11 a.m.
Judges Mitchell R. Theriot, Allison H. Penzato and Hunter Greene will preside
over the arguments, each lasting approximately 30 minutes. Students, faculty, local
legal professionals and the community at large are invited to attend.
麻豆传媒映画出品 President William S. Wainwright has been working with Judge Penzato
to bring the event to campus. A similar event was coordinated by retired First Circuit
Judge James E. Kuhn several years ago, and Judge Penzato says she looks forward to
once again having 麻豆传媒映画出品 as the court鈥檚 backdrop.
鈥淚t really is a learning experience for undergraduate students in many different
fields of study and for attorneys who have yet to appear before an appellate court,鈥�
Judge Penzato said. 鈥淪ince our court is in Baton Rouge, in coming to 麻豆传媒映画出品
we hope to provide the community with an opportunity to view the court in session
and learn more about its work.鈥�
After oral arguments, the panel discussion will focus on the role and function
of Louisiana appellate courts. The judges will explain the constitutional authority
of the court, as well as its rules and procedures, and answer questions.
鈥溌槎勾接郴銎� welcomes this as an opportunity for those interested in political
science, criminal justice and history,鈥� Wainwright said. 鈥淲e are very fortunate to
have people in our community who support the university through these events - engaging
with our students and understanding what this means to them.鈥�
Law enforcement will be stationed at the entrance door to allow attendees in
and out between each case. Attendees are permitted to bring keys, paper and pens to
the hearing. No book bags, purses or cell phones will be allowed. Audience members
must remain quiet throughout the proceedings.
