The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals heard oral arguments April 7-8 at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. Judges John W. Campbell, Camille R. McMullen and Robert W. Wedemeyer sat in for the court. The experience was especially poignant for Judge Wedemeyer.
“This year marks 50 years since my graduation from the Law School, and it was an honor to be back and to talk to students, faculty, and Dean Jim Strickland. Judge Campbell and I are both Memphis Law grads and we shared some of our law school memories with the students,” said Judge Wedemeyer.
The Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law hosted oral argument for the Criminal Court of Appeals while the Jackson courthouse undergoes renovations. The change of venue provided a unique opportunity for law students to observe the appeals process and ask questions of both the attorneys and the judges.
“The Law School building is beautiful, and the students seemed to enjoy seeing the appellate process firsthand,” continued Judge Wedemeyer. “I will always be grateful to the University of Memphis Law School for the education I received there and the many doors that education opened for me during the last 50 years!”
