OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has heard oral arguments for a case at a downtown Omaha high school.

About 150 Central High School students, mostly from Advanced Placement government or business law classes, attended the arguments in the school’s auditorium Thursday.

The state Supreme Court regularly travels to Nebraska’s two law schools, but this visit was the first time the court heard arguments at a high school.

The case they heard involves three children whose stepfather wants to adopt them. The children’s biological father is serving a 16-year prison sentence after being convicted of sexually assaulting the oldest daughter.

The biological father didn’t consent to the adoption, and the mother and stepfather asked a Lincoln County Court judge to terminate his parental rights in 2014.
