Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals to hold oral argument at College of Law on March 13
March 4, 2013
Judge Peter M. Handwork and Judge Arlene Singer ’76 of the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals direct questions to an attorney during oral argument held at the College of Law in spring 2012.
The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals will hold oral argument at The University of Toledo College of Law on Wednesday, March 13, beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the McQuade Law Auditorium. The sessions are open to the public.
Judges Arlene Singer ’76, Thomas J. Osowik, and Stephen A. Yarbrough will preside over argument in six cases. Arguments set for the session include appeals from aggravated murder and theft convictions. Other cases on the docket ask the court to decide whether a trial court may order an owner to maintain his property if the property is the subject of other litigation between the parties in the Ohio Supreme Court, and whether a Sandusky zoning ordinance is unconstitutionally vague.
"The opportunity for students to observe judges and lawyers in a real court session is a valuable learning experience in our oral advocacy curriculum,” said Terrell Allen, Toledo Law legal writing professor and director of its legal research, writing, and appellate advocacy program. “We appreciate the court's willingness to provide this useful experience and instruction for our students."
The first session begins at 9:00 a.m., and the second session starts at 10:15 a.m. After adjourning, the court and counsel will answer audience questions during a short Q & A period.
