The Court of Appeals of Indiana's award-winning civics education outreach program, Appeals on Wheels, is coming to Marshall County on Thursday, October 29, at 6:30 PM, giving residents a rare opportunity to witness the appellate court in action close to home.
A panel of judges will hear live, in-person oral arguments in the case of Quentin Jevon Shotwell v. State of Indiana at the Culver Memorial Legion Building, located at 1300 Academy Road in Culver.
The event is free and open to the public. Following the formal argument, audience members will have the opportunity to ask the judges questions about the judiciary and the appellate process. However, questions and discussion regarding the specific case will not be permitted.
The Court of Appeals of Indiana is the second-highest court in the state, hearing appeals from Indiana's trial courts and some state agencies. Its 15 judges issue over 2,000 opinions per year, making it one of the busiest appellate courts in the nation relative to its size.
Appeals on Wheels is part of the Court's broader effort to bring the judicial process to communities across the state, allowing citizens to observe oral arguments firsthand and engage directly with members of the bench. The program has earned recognition for its contributions to civics education and public understanding of the courts.
Those planning to attend are encouraged to arrive early, as seating may be limited. The program is expected to draw interest from students, educators, legal professionals, and community members interested in learning more about how Indiana's appellate system works.
