On Thursday, February 17, 2011 the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, will make its annual visit to Kirksville to convene court.  A three-judge panel will hear oral arguments in four cases in the circuit courtroom of the Adair County Courthouse beginning at 9:00am to roughly 11:00am.  Students may come and go quietly at anytime.  The cases are appeals from previously held trials in area circuit courts.  The judges will hear attorneys argue whether the trials had errors which should cause them to be retried.  The judges will read written arguments before the court session, and may interrupt the attorneys’ arguments with questions.  The three judges will take a break in between cases and remain after the court session to discuss the court system and generally explain proceedings.  This will be the eighteenth time that the court has convened in Kirksville.  It convenes regularly in Kansas City. Its jurisdiction is appeals from trial courts in 45 counties which include all of northwest Missouri and most of central Missouri.
