The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is set to hold oral arguments at the College of Law on March 28, from 10 A.M. to 11:30 a.m. This session will be accessible to the public at no cost, although seating availability is limited.

The proceedings will take place in the Melanie Gray Ceremonial Courtroom located in Dineen Hall at 950 Irving Avenue. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is one of thirteen United States Courts of Appeals and covers Connecticut, New York, and Vermont. It holds appellate jurisdiction over several U.S. district courts within these regions.

Positioned just below the Supreme Court in the federal judicial hierarchy, this court's presence is noteworthy. "The Court of Appeals from the Second Circuit is one of the most influential courts in the country," stated College of Law Dean Terence Lau. He added that hosting this event offers students, faculty, and community members a valuable opportunity to observe high-level jurisprudence.

Details regarding the specific case and judges will be released by the court as the date approaches. It should be noted that cameras and video recording devices are prohibited during these arguments.
