Oral Argument

Oral argument is a stage in the legal process where lawyers present their case verbally to a judge or a panel of judges in court. During this time, attorneys outline their arguments, respond to questions from the judges, and clarify legal points. Unlike written briefs, which detail the legal arguments in writing, oral arguments allow for dynamic discussion and immediate feedback. This process is crucial for helping judges understand the nuances of the case, consider different perspectives, and make informed decisions on legal matters being reviewed.
