Oral Arguments

The Lawyering Process program is hosting live oral arguments for the Colorado Court of Appeals here at the Sturm College of Law on Thursday, April 9th from 4-5pm. Oral arguments in two cases will be heard before Judge Russell Carparelli, Judge Robert Hawthorne and Judge Diana Terry.

Student or staff id's are required to access the courtroom in Room 165. Space is limited so there will also be overflow rooms set up with a live feed of the proceedings. A reception follows in the Forum from 5-6:30pm. RSVP's are required for the reception.

This year's cases are DeHerrera v. EquityLink LLC and People v. Villaneuva. Briefs are posted on the LP website. The Reese Persuasive Writing Awards and Hartje Objective Writing Awards nominees are announced during the reception. Past award winners and photos of previous Judge's Day events provide some context for the event.
