The state Supreme Court will hear a set of cases in a Portage County high school as justices conduct one of their biannual off-site sessions.

Students from 11 high schools will attend arguments before the court at Ravenna High School on Sept. 24.

The students will also meet the justices and talk about the cases with attorneys from both sides.

Among the cases is one from a Hamilton man challenging his drug trafficking conviction after police tracked his activity using a global positioning system placed on his van.

Students from Ravenna, along with Aurora, Crestwood, Field, James A. Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt, Rootstown, Southeast, Streetsboro, Waterloo, and Windham high schools will participate.
