State’s highest court gives students glimpse into how it operates.
In Andalusia, he and seven other justices heard oral arguments in a free speech case that involves restrictions placed on students by the University of Alabama Huntsville.Not ready to give up, they appealed to the state’s highest court that met at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College.
“We hope by going out on the road government takes a concrete form in the view of students,” Chief Justice Tom Parker told News 4 after the hearing.“To be able to see government in the works for the first time instead of through a tv screen…it was certainly special,” said LBWCC student Clay Herrington.Their ruling on the free speech appeal will come after a review of case law and arguments made by those on both sides of the issue.
