Rule 1.9. Oral argument

    Oral argument before the Court of Civil Appeals or the Supreme Court is not a matter of right. A party desiring to present oral argument shall file a motion for oral argument, setting forth the exceptional reason that oral argument is necessary and the issues sought to be presented. The motion shall not exceed two (2) pages, and shall be filed by separate motion under the style and number of the cause in this Court. If no motion is filed, the cause will stand for submission on the briefs. No motion shall be argued orally unless by direction of the court.

    In the event oral argument is allowed, the court will allot such time as it may deem sufficient for oral argument. Not more than two (2) attorneys will be permitted to speak on each side. An attorney appearing amicus curiae will be heard only by leave of Court.
