Description

Press release from the Colorado Judicial Branch: April 15, 2022 DENVER – A division of the Colorado Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in one case at STRIVE Prep-RISE in Denver on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, before an audience of students. Limited public seating will be available, and all visitors to the school must wear face masks. The visit is part of the Colorado Judicial Branch's Courts in the Community, an outreach program the Colorado Supreme Court and Court of Appeals initiated on Law Day (May 1), 1986. The Courts in the Community program was developed to give Colorado high school students insight into the Colorado judicial system and illustrate how disputes are resolved in a democratic society. These are not mock proceedings. The Court will hear arguments in an actual case from which it will issue an opinion. The court generally issues opinions within a few weeks of the arguments. The 22 judges of the Colorado Court of Appeals sit in divisions of three judges to hear cases. Judges hearing the case at STRIVE Prep-RISE are David J. Richman, Ted C. Tow III, and Matthew D. Grove. The case is: The division had been scheduled to hear oral arguments in a second case, but circumstances outside the Court's control resulted in a postponement in that case. The proceedings will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 19, at STRIVE Prep-RISE (18250 E. 51st Ave. in Denver). A question-and-answer session, during which the students may ask questions of the attorneys, will follow the arguments. The students also will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with the Court of Appeals judges. There will be a limited number of seats for the public. Visitors are required to wear a face covering. Video recordings of the arguments will be available online within one to two days of the argument at http://www.courts.state.co.us/Courts/Court_Of_Appeals/Oral_Arguments/Index.cfm.
