SOUTH HOLLAND, IL –(ENEWSPF)—April 2, 2014. The South Suburban College Legal Studies Department will host their second annual “Law Day” on Thursday, May 1, 2014.  This year’s event will feature a special live court case.  Oral arguments for a real criminal First District Appellate Court case will be heard in the Performing Arts Center.  This is a rare opportunity for the community to observe the First District at work at an off-site location.  The general public–especially educators and students–is encouraged to attend this unique opportunity to witness some of the area’s most talented, professional litigators in action.

Opening remarks will begin at 10:30 a.m.  Following the arguments, the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions of the Appellate Prosecutor and Appellate Defender.  The justices will return to the PAC for another question and answer session at approximately 12 noon. 

This event also provides guests with an opportunity to find out more about educational and career opportunities in the judicial field, and to learn about SSC’s Paralegal, Court Reporting and Criminal Justice programs.
