ORAL ARGUMENT PERMITTED FOR NEW LAWYERS
The Court will consider any requests for oral argument on motions made in accordance with
Local Rule 7.0 (e).
The Court shall grant a request for oral argument on a contested substantive motion if the request
states that a lawyer of no more than six years out of law school will conduct the oral argument
(or at least a large majority). This policy is intended to promote opportunities for new lawyers
who practice before this Court to develop their oral advocacy skills.
