As part of the visit to Fargo on April 11, 2024, the North Dakota Supreme Court traveled to NDSU to visit with students and hear oral arguments in State v. Camperud, case number 20230370.  Andrea Smith, Senior Lecturer of Business Law at NDSU, invited the state supreme court to visit NDSU.  Roughly 300 students and guests attended the oral arguments. 

The supreme court conducts outreach to North Dakota schools and universities across the state 2-3 times per year as part of the 'Taking the Court to Schools' program. Taking the Court to Schools gives students an up close look at how the judicial branch works and a better understanding of how a case is decided.
