St. Leon, IN — The Indiana Court of Appeals civics education outreach program Appeals on Wheels will make a stop at East Central High School next Thursday, April 6 from 10:30-11:30 am.

A three-judge panel, which is scheduled to include Southeastern Indiana natives L. Mark Bailey (Decatur County) and Leanna Weissmann (Dearborn County) plus Judge Peter Foley, will hear live, in-person arguments in the case of Daniel Criswell V. Indiana State Police.

A synopsis of the case can be found here.

The event in the East Central Performing Arts Center is open to the public and the audience will have a chance to ask the judges questions about the judiciary following the arguments; however, the judges cannot speak about this specific case.

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.

The 15 judges of the Court issue over 2,000 opinions per year.
