Third District Appellate Court Arguments - On Friday September 17, 2010 the Kankakee Community College will welcome Illinois Supreme Court Justice Thomas Kilbride as it hosts oral arguments on its campus. This is not a mock trial or moot court, but two actual appeals-one criminal, one civil-that have been briefed and will be argued before the Court. The Iroquois Room will be the courtroom for that day, with a limited block of seats available for members of local bar associations. No cell phones or other electronic devices will be allowed through the screening process. Parking is available to the south of the Workforce Development Center, in which the Iroquois room is located.
