Meet & Greet on Capitol Steps in Washington D.C.
Students in Prof. Rebecca Purdom's "Topics at the U.S. Supreme Court" course traveled to Washington D.C. March 22-24, 2009 to hear oral arguments at the court. On the last day of the trip, the class had a surprise meeting with all three members of Vermont's congressional delegation. The trio spoke with students and answered questions.
