The Tennessee Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases on Dec. 4 at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville as part of its Supreme Court Advancing Legal Education for Students (SCALES) program. The cases are Theresa Thompson Locke et al. v. Jason D. Aston M.D. et al. and State of Tennessee v. Ambreia Washington. SCALES is an initiative launched by the court in 1995 to educate high school students about the Tennessee legal system and the functions of the judicial branch. SCALES has provided more than 40,000 students from more than 500 high schools the ability to witness the Tennessee Supreme Court in action. Read more about the program and the cases to be heard beginning at 9 a.m. CST that day. The session also will be livestreamed on the court's Youtube page.
