About this event
The Mississippi Court of Appeals will convene on the campus of Mississippi State University Nov. 15 to hear oral arguments in two cases. A three-judge panel will hold court in the Hunter Henry Center at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. People wishing to watch the oral arguments are asked to be in their seats 15 minutes before each proceeding is scheduled to begin. The Jackson-based court hears a few cases on college campuses each year as part of its Court on the Road program, which educates students and the general public about the operation of appellate courts. Judges talk with students after the oral arguments and answer questions, although they don’t talk about the pending cases. The 1 p.m. oral argument is in the civil appeal of Beverly Irwin-Giles v. Panola County, cause number 2016-CA-1637-COA. The 2:30 p.m. oral argument is a criminal appeal in the case of Adam Chism v. State of Mississippi, cause number 2016-KA-1404-COA.
