S.C. Supreme Court hears cases on campus
The Citadel hosted The South Carolina Supreme Court on campus Sept. 10 to 11. Four cases were brought before the court, giving the audience an opportunity to see the justice system at work.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has held terms of court to hear oral arguments in Greenville, Horry, Orangeburg, Sumter, Spartanburg, and York counties. “Indeed, the primary reason we travel all over our great state is to give students and other members of the public a real civics lesson in the judicial branch of government,” said Chief Justice John Kittredge. “The court has scheduled a mix of cases, civil and criminal. The selected cases are designed to stimulate critical thought and give the audience a front-row perspective of the law in action.”
The event, open to the public, allowed students to see firsthand what they might expect from careers in law, one of many opportunities The Citadel offers to students pursuing legal education.
