Oral argument before this three-judge panel is scheduled to take place in the Moot Courtroom (#518) at the David A. Clark School of Law (UDC).  Cases to be argued include Judy Bemah vs. DC Department of Human Services (at issue is whether underpayment of food stamps must be repaid to a recipient); In Re: Abigail Askew, a bar disciplinary case; and Levertis Repass v. US (an issue relating to search and seizure law and firearms).  This scheduling of off-site oral arguments is the one in a series of presentations to be held at area law schools as part of the Court’s education outreach initiative.  This education outreach initiative grew out of the collaborative efforts of Chief Judge Blackburne-Rigsby, former Chief Judge Eric Washington, and the local area law school deans; it is part of an effort to enhance the real-world litigation experience of local law students.
