Supreme Court LIVE provides students an in person opportunity to view judicial review and learn about the judicial branch.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska -High school students from across the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District took their studies to the Hering Auditorium at Lathrop High School as the Alaska Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of State of Alaska v. John Williams McKelvey III on Tuesday, Nov. 23.

The case that was heard in the Hering Auditorium focused on aerial surveillance of McKelvey’s property. According to Danette Peterson, a teacher at Hutchison High School, her students were very interested in the technical aspects. “We had a lot of discussion about drones and technology, especially with our I.T. students, even though drones weren’t used in this case. But, it opened up discussions of what technology may or may not be allowed in the future,” said Peterson.

During the events closing, Chief Justice Winfrey spoke to the audience about the history of the Hering Auditorium and its namesake. Winfrey spoke about the military service of Walter Hering who served in the Navy and transitioned to his own public service as a lawyer and a judge. During his remarks, he said he hopes the students were able to be inspired by this opportunity and if they wanted to, they are more than capable of being involved in public service.
