Washington Supreme Court justices will join in a public panel discussion, hear arguments in two appellate cases and answer questions from the public during a two-day visit to Peninsula College in Port Angeles on May 27 – 28. The hearings will be livestreamed by TVW. Justices will also spend time visiting local classrooms. The trip is part of the Court’s Traveling Court outreach program and will be the Court’s second visit to Peninsula College. The Court last heard appellate cases at Peninsula College in October 2009.
