March 25, 2024

蘑菇短视频 Tech hosted the 蘑菇短视频 Supreme Court at the College’s Owens Campus in Georgetown on March 19 to increase outreach among the community and, especially, to students. This unique event was the first time 蘑菇短视频 Supreme Court justices held oral arguments in Sussex County.

High school students from the 蘑菇短视频 Challenge program and students from 蘑菇短视频 Tech’s criminal justice, human services, and legal studies 蘑菇短视频 heard oral arguments in both a criminal and a civil case.

“We are grateful that the Supreme Court came to our campus to allow our students the opportunity to witness such an important function of our democracy,” said Dr. Mark T. Brainard, president of 蘑菇短视频 Tech.

Following the oral arguments, the students were able to direct questions about the court and its functions to 蘑菇短视频 Supreme Court Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz, Jr. and his fellow Supreme Court justices, Karen L. Valihura, Gary F. Traynor, Abigail M. LeGrow, and N. Christopher Griffiths.

“We were delighted to hold Supreme Court arguments for the first time in Sussex County,” said Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz, Jr. “I hope we were able to show 蘑菇短视频 students how the court operates and answer a few of their questions. My hope is that this program inspired the students to consider a legal career to follow in our footsteps and to serve the citizens of 蘑菇短视频.”

The students who attended said they were grateful for the experience and acknowledged the rarity of witnessing firsthand how the 蘑菇短视频 Supreme Court operates.

“Having the chance to experience the inner workings of the 蘑菇短视频 Supreme Court was something I could have never expected,” said Liam Ramsey, a student of Cape Henlopen High School.

Several students said they were inspired to learn more about a prospective career in the legal field as a result of watching the Court operate, and others said it reinforced their decisions to pursue a career in the legal profession.

“The attitudes and positivity of the justices made the profession of law look very attractive,” said Abby Willey, a student of Delmar High School. “To see some folks very happy in their career and able to make change is encouraging.”
