After the Arguments: “Meet-and-Greet” with the Justices, for Law Center Students:
University of Houston Law Center students
are invited to attend a short meet-and-greet with the Justices, to be held in
the Krost Hall auditorium foyer at approximately 2:00 p.m., immediately after
the oral arguments. The meet-and-greet
will afford Law Center students an excellent opportunity to interact with the
Justices, although students may not ask specific questions about the cases that
have argued. Students who plan to attend
the meet-and-greet should dress appropriately.
Students are strongly encouraged to attend both the arguments and the post-argument meet-and-greet with the Justices. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to observe real-life appellate arguments and to meet appellate justices. Please join us on March 5 in welcoming the First Court of Appeals to the Law Center.
