SD Supreme Court oral arguments via Zoom Monday, April 27, 2020

Traditionally, the South Dakota Supreme Court holds oral arguments - open to the public - either at its courtroom in the State Capitol, at the University of South Dakota School of Law or another public institution like a college.

In response to the current pandemic, the court held its April term five oral arguments this last week using Zoom. The justices were in separate rooms in Pierre, Rapid City, Vermillion and Sioux Falls, while the participating attorneys were in their offices around South Dakota. In all other respects, the normal procedure for oral arguments was followed.
