Mr. Perlin’s oral argument style has attracted the attention of courts and commentators. In a Federalist Society podcast discussing the Supreme Court oral argument in Rubin v. Islamic Republic of Iran, the expert presenter commented that “Mr. Perlin … really did an excellent job arguing a very tough case.” At the close of the argument before the D.C. Circuit in Bauer v. Mavi Marmara, Judge Harry Edwards stated that he “appreciate[d]” Mr. Perlin’s “tempered argument,” and added that he found it “helpful to the court.”
