The Tennessee Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for two cases on Sept. 19, in front of hundreds of high school students when it brings court to Chattanooga State Community College as part of the court’s SCALES (Supreme Court Advancing Legal Education for Students) program. This program, over 20 years in operation, has allowed over 36,000 students across Tennessee to learn more about the state's legal system and the function of the appellate courts. Prior to the event, volunteer attorneys and judges will visit the students’ classrooms to discuss the actual cases the students will hear and help them understand more about the process.
