“California Supreme Court justices will hear oral arguments on a key piece of the ongoing lawsuit over Kern River flows Oct. 7 at a special session of the court to be held in Redding. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. at the University Preparatory School, 2200 Eureka Way. Those interested in attending may want to get a seat early as this is part of the court’s student outreach program so local high school students and teachers will fill much of the venue. The proceedings will also be broadcast via livestream at https://supreme.courts.ca.gov/. Archives of the hearings are typically posted to the court’s webpage two weeks to a month later.
