Up Close and Personal with Division Six is an outreach program to local high schools that was instituted in 1996. The court selects a criminal case on its calendar and sends copies of the briefs for the students to read and analyze. Students are then invited to oral argument to hear the lawyers argue the case. After oral argument students participate in a question and answer session with the lawyers. After the opinion is filed, a copy is sent to the high school so students and their instructor can discuss the issues involved in the decision.
Students also receive a tour of the courthouse and are able to visit with each of the justices.
