The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Court of Appeals will hear arguments in the Lindsley Memorial Courtroom at the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder School of Law March 12 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Students will get a chance to hear oral arguments, ask the presiding judges questions and attend a reception afterward in the Moorhead-Rutledge Lounge.

A civil and a criminal case will be heard. In the criminal case, Claire Christine Walsh is appealing her conviction for first degree murder.

The civil case involves a dispute between the Universal Communications Company and the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Collection Agency Board, which claims that UCC is operating as an illegal collection agency.

One of the three presiding judges, Jim Casebolt, is a 1975 alumnus of the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ law school.

Prior to the oral arguments, the School of Law's Career Services Office will sponsor a judicial clerkship question-and-answer session with students in room 104 of the law school from noon to 12:50 p.m. Judges and clerks will talk about the judicial clerkship hiring process and job duties.

The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Court of Appeals is the second highest state court, behind the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Supreme Court, and normally hears cases at the Court of Appeals Courthouse in Denver.
