State Supreme Court To Hear Arguments In Ottawa Courthouse
From the Associated Press
The Illinois Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in two cases at a historic courthouse in Ottawa.
Today's cases deal with a firearms enhancement sentencing law and a constitutional challenge to Chicago's red light traffic camera program.
The Supreme Court usually hears cases in Springfield. But it's been holding oral arguments in Chicago since last September because the 116-year-old Springfield structure is undergoing rehabilitation.
Today will be one of the rare times the high court has heard oral arguments outside of Springfield or Chicago since it was consolidated in the state capital in 1897.
The public may attend the arguments, which begin at 11 a.m., though seating is limited. Local teachers and students will either attend the arguments live or watch them on the Internet.
