Fifth District Court of Appeal<\/a> will preside over the session in a make-shift “courtroom.”\u00a0The chief judge will be\u00a0the Honorable C. Alan Lawson, accompanied by the Honorable Wendy W. Berger and the Honorable James A. Edwards.<\/p>\nThe panel of\u00a0judges will\u00a0listen to oral arguments made by real attorneys\u00a0on real cases. Students will have an opportunity to participate in a Q & A session with the court.<\/p>\n
The inaugural event was a big success in 2015. According to event organizer Margarita Koblasz, an associate lecturer in the Department of Legal Studies, a crowd of\u00a0more than\u00a0250 attended, and the judges had only positive things to say afterwards. Plans are for UCF to continue to host this event annually.<\/p>\n
