“Appeals on Wheels” is an outreach program of the Indiana Court of Appeals that brings live appellate oral arguments to communities across the state. By holding sessions in high schools, colleges, and civic venues—and engaging audiences in Q&A discussions—the Court offers the public a rare, firsthand look at how an intermediate appellate court works.

In Chicago, the Puerto Rican community has played a pivotal role in shifting understandings of identity and belonging over the past century. This talk will demonstrate how Chicago and the whole Midwest have generated elements of culture and politics that helped pave the way for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl moment, and it will suggest a possible future path for Puerto Ricans and their relationship with the USA.
