CONWAY—The Arkansas Supreme Court will visit the University of Central Arkansas campus on Thursday, October 10, 2013.

President Tom Courtway announced to the UCA Board of Trustees today that all seven justices would visit the campus this fall.

Planning is still underway, but justices will hear oral arguments starting at 9 a.m. in the Reynolds Performance Hall. Additional details will be announced once they are finalized. The event is public.

“We believe that will be a good event not only for UCA and our students but the community and maybe some of the high schools,” he said.
