Staff report

The Iowa Supreme Court will meet Tuesday night in Charles City to hear a case as part of the court’s practice of holding sessions around the state to increase accessibility.

But before and after that official business, justices will be going into area classrooms to meet with students in seven schools.

They will discuss the Iowa judicial system and the role of the courts in Iowa with students in Charles City, Tripoli, Hampton, Fairbank, Iowa Falls, Dike, and Parkersburg.

The Supreme Court’s special session will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, at the North Grand Building (old Charles City Middle School).
