4/2 goes to back to school

Presiding Justice Manuel A. Ramirez has announced that “Outreach Plus” will take place in Inyo County on Thursday, September 21, 2017.

Under this innovative court-community outreach program, the appellate justices will hear oral arguments and hold a question-answer session at Bishop Union High School in Bishop before an audience of seniors and selected students from high schools throughout Inyo County.
Presiding Justice Ramirez noted that, “After oral argument, the justices, paired with a local judge or lawyer, will visit five classrooms to talk to the students about the California appellate and superior courts, legal careers, and the importance of staying in school.”
