US Supreme Court judges have oftentimes come to the school to talk to students, including Chief Justice William Renquist, Justice Sandra Day O'Conner and Justices Scalia and Kennedy as well.

It's an opportunity for students to see how the judges handle cases and what the future attorney's might expect in court.

The court heard three cases, each getting a half hour of oral arguments, two of which had Arizona ties and one from Nevada.

The one which seemed to get the most attention is very political in nature.

The Libertarian Party v. The State of Arizona.

State lawmakers passed a bill in 2011 which changed the paper forms used to register to vote.

For the first time, people who register to vote can check a box which offers Democrat, Republican or fill in a space for "other".

In the past, the form had a space only, no boxes.
