	Oral argument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oral arguments are verbal presentations to a judge or appellate court by a lawyer (or the party when representing themselves) of the legal reasons why they should prevail.
		Oral arguments can also occur during motion practice when one of the parties presents a motion to the court for consideration before trial, such as when the case is to be dismissed on a point of law, or when summary judgment may lie because there are no factual issues in dispute.
		Oral argument is not always considered an essential part of due process, as the briefs also give the parties an opportunity to be heard by the court.

		He would become much admired within his profession, for though he argued with earnest passion in the courtroom, in a style of speaking that at times could be candidly assertive and was not easily deposed, he was a man of impeccable sincerity and humility.

		First, he wanted to frame the central argument in such a way that all nine justices could take the first step toward abstracting his central premise: Most American citizens were at a legal disadvantage as soon as they came under police scrutiny.

		The government's argument, as advanced by Olson, is very simple: the language in the copyright clause is so general as to almost not restrict Congress' power at all.
		About the best argument Lessig made was that there's no such thing as an equally applicable retrospective extension, because a retrospective extension always applies to "particular authors." On the face of it, this is a weak argument, unless the Justices are looking for some bit of minutiae on which to hang new law.
		The one non-obvious tack Olson's argument took was to continually emphasize that the "promot[ing] progress" language wasn't intended to apply just to authorship, but also to distribution.

	Preparing for and Delivering an Effective Oral Argument
		At its worst, oral argument is a droning verbal rehash of the points and authorities already laid out in the brief, delivered before a passive panel of judges.
		Your oral argument will provide you with an opportunity to clarify points you didn't make so well, to state more persuasively and forcefully your best points, and to do a better job of responding to the strong points made by your opponent.
		While it’s usually unwise to begin your oral argument by reciting the case facts, the court may well have factual questions for you, particularly where the abstract (or appendix, if you’re in federal court) is unclear.
