Wendell Juvenile Curfew Case Argued

You might recall that the Court of Appeals found that the Wendell juvenile curfew ordinance was unconstitutionally overbroad because it prohibited a wide range of constitutionally protected conduct. The law prohibits minors from being in public between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

The Supreme Court granted review of the case and it was argued yesterday.

The Court will also hear argument in four criminal cases next week. I'll preview each of them on the day of argument.
