Indiana Decisions - More on the upcoming underage drinking case argument

Updating our Indiana Law Blog entry from Sunday is this comprehensive coverage today by the Edinburgh Courier on the oral argument to be held Friday at 10:00 am before the Indiana Court of Appeals in the chapel on the Franklin College campus. Some quotes from the story:

The Johnson County Bar Association invited the appeals court for its annual Law Day observance — where young people learn about the legal system — and suggested Franklin College as the venue. Classes from the college as well as Center Grove High School will attend.

“It really gives an opportunity to allow the public, students of government or law classes a hands-on opportunity to view law in action,” said Greenwood attorney Linda Meier, one of the Law Day organizers. “It’s a real case; it’s going to have real consequences and a real impact. This is a real Court of Appeals oral argument that will either result in an affirmed (decision) or a reversal.”

[Judge Margret] Robb selected a case for the court of appeals to hear that would be of interest to college students. “She was trying to find something that would be age-appropriate and something that could impact their lives as well, and would be interesting,” Meier said.

Also on the panel are Judges Sharpnack and Patricia Riley. More:
Although the public is invited to Friday’s case, the normal rules of courtroom decorum apply while the court is in session. For example, recording and photography are not permitted. After the formal arguments end, however, the judges will take questions from the audience and permit cameras.
