Lawyer Talk: Off the Record

What Happens in an Oral Argument? | What's The Appeal?


Listen Later

I talk about the intricacies of oral arguments in the appellate process.

What happens during oral arguments at the court of appeals?

It's not about calling witnesses or retrying the case; it's about presenting compelling legal arguments to a panel of judges. I explain the importance of highlighting inequities in the trial and making a persuasive case for why the appeal should succeed. I also share insights into the dynamic nature of these proceedings, including how judges' questions play a pivotal role.

Whether you're curious about the appeal process or want to explore some fascinating US Supreme Court arguments, this episode has you covered.

What can you expect to learn?

  • The unique dynamics of presenting an oral argument and how it differs from trial court proceedings.
  • My top strategies for making a compelling case during an oral argument, focusing on the importance of pointing out inequities in the trial process.
  • Why oral arguments are not just about reiterating written briefs but about adding "meat on the bone" to reinforce your points effectively.
