Students from 15 high schools recently gathered in Columbia to hear two live court cases pending before the Tennessee Supreme Court as part of the SCALES project, which allows students to experience a live proceeding of the state’s highest court. It was the first in-person program since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Judges and lawyers participating in the program included Judge Ryan Durham, Judge Jake Hubbell, Judge Russ Parkes, Maury County Clerk & Master Larry Roe, David Bates, Christian Cahill, Amanda Castillo, Julie Heffington, Patricia A. Jones, Ed Lancaster, Bevin Lyle, Dawn Moore, Patty Sellars, Beth Oschack Tarter and Jason Whatley. The Maury County Bar Association, led by current President Patrick M. Carter, hosted a reception the evening before the event for the group. See photos from the event or watch the livestream of the two cases argued, available here and here.
