00:00Sure, when you hear the word argument, you usually think of one thing—fighting.
00:06But in a courtroom, the word argument has a different shade of meaning.
00:11It's more of a persuasion on behalf of one side or the other.
00:15And an oral argument is a specific version of this.
00:19Oral arguments are conversations between a judge or judges and a litigant, in which the
00:24litigant gives the legal reasons as to why their side should prevail in a case.
00:29In an appeal, oral arguments can contain additions to what's contained in the original
00:34written briefs given to the judges beforehand.
00:37It also gives the litigant opportunity to clear up mistakes or misunderstandings in
00:42the brief itself.
00:44The appellant—the person initiating the appeal—is the first one to speak.
00:49Then the appellee.
00:50For certain appeals, these are called petitioner and respondent.
00:55Whether it's an appellate court or civil court, each side gets their turn, and an equal
01:00allotment of time in front of the judge.
01:02There is even a little time given after for rebuttals.
01:05Now, the judge's role when hearing oral arguments is much more active than at a trial
01:10procedure.
01:11Whereas, in a trial, judges intervene only when asked by a litigant.
01:16It is typical for a judge in an oral argument to interrupt and ask questions throughout
01:21of their own accord.
01:23Oral arguments are not automatically required by the right to due process, and it is generally
01:28up to the court whether to allow them or not.
01:31Being able to handle direct questions from judges will improve your chances in an oral
01:35argument.
