SUMMARY: Students at Southern Miss had the opportunity to witness real legal proceedings as a three-judge panel from the Mississippi Court of Appeals held oral arguments on a manslaughter case during the university‘s “Court on the Road” program. This event was part of the annual pre-law week activities, aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the legal profession. Participants, mainly from USM’s Legal Services Program, engaged in discussions with judges after the arguments, gaining insights into the appellate process. The court last visited the campus eight years ago, making this a significant educational experience for aspiring lawyers.

Justices hear actual appeal in ‘Court on the Road’ stop at USM.
