<p>The Delaware Supreme Court returned for their 2020 visit to Delaware Law School to hear oral argument in one case in front of a packed Ruby R. Vale Moot Courtroom.&nbsp; More than 200 students, faculty, and staff attended the argument in the Courtroom and another 75-100 attendees viewed the argument remotely.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Court has a long-standing tradition of hearing oral argument at the law school so that students can experience the live court proceeding in our own courtroom facility.&nbsp; The annual visit by the Court is a noteworthy point of pride for the school.&nbsp; Delaware Law School&rsquo;s five <a href="ipl://146//W10=////">Wolcott Fellows</a> were in attendance at the arguments, as well as Supreme Court law clerks and staff.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wolcott Fellows are law school students who serve as part-time law clerks to the Supreme Court justices, and one of their weekly duties is to attend oral arguments which are customarily heard in Dover, Delaware.</p>
<p>All five members of the Delaware Supreme Court heard the oral argument on February 19th.&nbsp; Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz, Jr. was joined on the bench by Justices Karen L. Valihura; James T. Vaughn, Jr.; Gary F. Traynor, and Tamika Montgomery-Reeves to hear argument in the case.</p>
<p>Delaware Law School Dean Rodney A. Smolla said, &ldquo;We were honored once again to host the oral arguments of the Delaware Supreme Court at Delaware Law.&nbsp; We were treated to a case presenting compelling legal issues and presented by superb advocates.&nbsp; In substance and symbol, it was a terrific day for us.&nbsp; We are most thankful to the Supreme Court for this remarkable educational opportunity.&rdquo;</p>
