Preferences
Participation by junior attorneys
The Court strongly encourages argument by junior attorneys, particularly where the junior attorneys drafted or contributed significantly to the underlying motion or response. Accordingly, if a junior attorney (i.e., a lawyer practicing for less than seven years) argues a motion or opposition for a party, the Court will, upon request, allow multiple attorneys to argue for that party so that issues can be split between attorneys or a more senior attorney can offer clarification, if necessary.
