Justices get back on the road again
As part of its “Court Community Connections” program, the Michigan Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Long Lake Twp v Todd Maxon, Supreme Court Case No. 164948, at Powers Catholic High School in Flint on Wednesday, October 18.
A debriefing session led by Supreme Court Chief Commissioner Daniel C. Brubaker and the attorneys for the parties will follow oral argument.
In addition to hearing oral arguments in Lansing, justices and staff travel to communities statewide as part of the “Court Community Connections” program, which the court started as a public education program aimed primarily at high school students.
This will be the 28th time the court has traveled to hear a case at another location.
