Blair High School students will get a firsthand look at the judicial process from inside their school when the Nebraska Supreme Court convenes in the Blair High School auditorium on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. This marks the first time the Court has held arguments at Blair High, an event made possible through the invitation of Principal Mark Gutschow.

The visit underscores the Court’s commitment to civics education and public engagement, a mission supported in partnership by the Nebraska State Bar Foundation.

The session will begin shortly after 10:00 a.m., with Principal Gutschow setting expectations for students as the auditorium temporarily transforms into an official courtroom. District Court Judge Zachary Blackman will provide insight into the key differences between trial and appellate courts.

As with all Nebraska Supreme Court argument sessions, this event is open to the public. Audio and most video recordings of past proceedings are available in the oral argument archive on the Nebraska Judicial Branch website.
