Springfield, Mo — Fourteen members of Evangel’s chapter of the Christian Prelaw Society and faculty adviser Dr. Bryan Sanders traveled to Jefferson City on Wednesday, April 8, to visit the Missouri Supreme Court.
The students observed oral argument before the court sitting en banc, took a tour of the courthouse, met with Missouri Supreme Court Judge Mary Russell and visited with two law clerks.
“We had the opportunity to sit in on three cases, including a death penalty case, argued before the court,” Sanders said. “We appreciate Judge Russell for her gracious invitation to our students.”
The following students participated in the trip:
- Jon Burns, junior government major from Indianapolis, Ind.
- Joshua Davis, senior government and music education double major from Lumberton, N.C.
