Select one or two key issues, because that is all that the time allowed you will permit you to cover. You may find it helpful to begin by stating the issues you intend to cover so that any judge who wishes you to discuss other issues may so advise you. Rely on your brief for the rest. The Court will not consider those issues to have been abandoned. If you plan to use any kind of visual aid, make arrangements with the deputy clerk in advance.
Easels are available.
If your visual aid is electrical or mechanical, make certain it is connected and working. The deputy clerk will give you access to the courtroom before the start of oral argument for this purpose. If you have not made prior arrangements with the deputy clerk to call in, report in person to the Clerk's Office promptly thirty minutes before court is scheduled to convene on the date set for oral argument regardless of the order in which your case is listed. This is essential because occasionally cases are rescheduled, or cases listed before yours may be settled or continued. Expect questions during your argument and, when they are asked, answer them directly, then explain your answer.
