Traveling Oral Arguments
The Minnesota Supreme Court travels twice a year to high schools around the state of Minnesota as part of a program that seeks to teach students about the court system and build the public’s trust and confidence in the judiciary.
The Court will hear oral arguments on an actual court case. Following the oral arguments, the Supreme Court justices hold a question-and-answer session with students, share lunch with student representatives, and spend the afternoon visiting classrooms.
Since the Supreme Court convened oral arguments in Rochester, Minn., in 1995, school visits have taken center stage in the Court’s public outreach and education efforts. The Court has heard more than 50 in-school oral arguments.
For more information about the program, please contact Lissa Finne in the Court Information Office.
