Texas Supreme Court holding session at Texas A&M
Texas A&M University for the first time will play host to the highest court in Texas.
The Supreme Court of Texas will hear oral arguments on two cases beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday in Rudder Theatre. There will be a question-and-answer session after the arguments, and the maximum of 825 tickets have already been allocated.
The nine justices will hear arguments on Highland Homes Ltd. v. state of Texas and In re: John Doe. Spokesman Osler McCarthy said the justices try to pick interesting and accessible cases to hear when they travel to academia. One of the cases involves a company that seeks from Google the identity of an anonymous blogger whom the company feels is posting defamatory comments.

"We try to find cases where we're expecting mostly non-legal arguments. Even with law schools, some procedural case where there is a nuance of procedure is not going to be all that interesting," McCarthy said. "We try to find, for what we would expect at A&M to be an undergraduate population, something they could identify or follow."
