The state Supreme Court hears arguments in an official session held today in the mock appellate courtroom at the Ralph R. Papitto School of Law at Roger Williams University in Bristol. The session is part of Chief Justice Frank J. Williams' effort to open up the judicial process to the public. In the days before the automobile, the practice of holding court in different places -- called "riding the circuit" -- was common. The audience today was composed of mostly law school students.
