The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals will hold oral arguments at The University of Toledo College of Law on Wednesday, March 13, beginning at 9 a.m. in the McQuade Law Auditorium. The sessions are open to the public.

Judges Arlene Singer ’76, Thomas J. Osowik, and Stephen A. Yarbrough will preside over argument in six cases. Arguments set for the session include appeals from aggravated murder and theft convictions. Other cases on the docket ask the court to decide whether a trial court may order an owner to maintain his property if the property is the subject of other litigation between the parties in the Ohio Supreme Court, and whether a Sandusky zoning ordinance is unconstitutionally vague.

“The opportunity for students to observe judges and lawyers in a real court session is a valuable learning experience in our oral advocacy curriculum,” said Terrell Allen, UT College of Law legal writing professor and director of its legal research, writing, and appellate advocacy program. “We appreciate the court’s willingness to provide this useful experience and instruction for our students.”

The first session begins at 9 a.m., and the second session starts at 10:15 a.m. After adjourning, the court and counsel will answer audience questions during a short Q & A period.

The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals’ calendar and docket are available here.
