Alaska Supreme Court Justice Joel Bolger listened to oral arguments by students, provided feedback, and made rulings on the motions during Prof. Ryan Fortson's Trial and Advanced Litigation Processes Class (LEGL 487) on March 1. Students drafted legal memoranda on motions from four fictional scenarios and defended their positions before Justice Bolger. Justice Bolger's participation in the class helped students better understand how judges might react to their work.
