How the Court System Works: Hear from Local Judges

Court System
Wednesday, April 19, 2023 - 6:30pm to 7:30pm

Hear first-hand from local judges about how the courts work, the kinds of cases they hear, how cases may have changed over the years, and more.  This Zoom event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters Orange, Durham and Chatham Counties.   

We will hear from three distinguished guests:

  • Judge Allen Baddour of the Chatham and Orange Counties’ Superior Court
  • Judge Samantha Cabe of the Chatham and Orange Counties’ District Court
  • Judge Shamieka Rhinehart of the Durham Superior Court.

They will discuss the basics of the court system, how cases come to them, how changing laws affect cases, obstacles to obtaining justice, and what happens once a ruling is handed down.

This Zoom event is free and open to the public.  Registration is required. Please let us know by April 18 at 5:00 pm if you plan to attend, and we will send you a link to the Zoom meeting.

This event is free and open to the public. Please contact Anne Triulzi (LWVAnne2021 [at] gmail.com) if you have any questions!
