Cases for Oral Argument

Supreme Court Order granting certiorari. Standing Order on Procedure.

Make sure your name appears twice (once as judge, once as advocate). Everyone should have at least a one-case break between their cases.

Sometime in early April I will gather information as to who will represent which party and who will serve as Chief Justice for each panel. The Standing Order describes how arguments function.

Remember that you can write about these cases for your reaction papers except for the case you are assigned to argue and the case you are assigned to judge. So seven of these cases are fair game for each of you. I will provide a separate list of several cases that did not make the cut, all of which are fair game for writing.
