Judge Mosman On Oral Argument

ADVERTISEMENTS

Appellate attorneys are used to being provided judicial advice on oral advocacy: be prepared; organize your argument; answer the question; stop slouching; don?t mumble; spit out that gum.

Citing Aretha Franklin and Butch Cassidy, Judge Mosman points out that lawyers are not ?serfs or peons? and suggests five paths to better arguments.
