Div. 5 at CSUN

Image result for csunCSUN Today reports May it Please the Court: CSUN Makes History with Appellate Court Session on Campus about Division 5's visit last week. The court heard argument as nearly 500 CSUN students and faculty watched.

"CSUN made judicial history Oct. 16, as the first California State University campus to host a session of the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Five. It’s exceedingly rare for any court to hold a session outside the confines of the traditional courtroom, let alone traveling to a campus. Invited from their usual courtrooms in downtown Los Angeles by CSUN professor and former appellate justice Sandy Kriegler, the justices and the attorneys presenting the day’s cases enthusiastically agreed to the court “road show” of sorts."

“As you could tell from the arguments, we’re not used to fielding questions,” one of the justices quipped. “We’re used to giving questions.”
