The Indiana Supreme Court will be hitting the road in October for an oral argument involving a liability lawsuit filed against against Indiana University’s board of trustees.
The justices will be at South Newton High School on Oct. 1 to hear arguments on Kiera Isgrig v. Trustees of Indiana University, 24S-CT-158.
