Posted by: Julia Wilburn on May 12, 2026

The Tennessee Supreme Court on May 27 will hear oral arguments before an accomplished group of rising high school seniors at the Tennessee American Legion Boys State at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville. The event is part of the Supreme Court Advancing Legal Education for Students (SCALES) program, which educates students about the Tennessee legal system and the judicial branch. “It is imperative that our young people have the opportunity to see the judicial system in action and up close,” said Chief Justice Jeff Bivins. “We are excited to bring this special session to Tennessee Tech University, where students will be able to observe actual cases argued before the Tennessee Supreme Court.” Participants will observe oral arguments in State of Tennessee v. Brent Paul Moon and Shirley Buckley et al. v. Jackson Radiology Associates, P.A. et al. beginning at 9 a.m. CDT.

On May 28, at 1:30 p.m. CDT at the Tennessee Supreme Court building in Nashville, the court will hear oral arguments in three cases: Jospheen Guirguis et al. v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davison County; Leslie K. Jones v. Tennessee State University; and Mark T. Young, Individually and d/b/a Mark T. Young & Associates v. Bonnie Young Davidson. Both days of oral arguments will be livestreamed on the TNCourts YouTube page.
