Answer 2

The art of oral argument in the Supreme Court of the United States has been discussed with great competence by a number of distinguished writers.1 Before approaching the lectern of the Supreme Court, any advocate would do well to consult these eminent authorities. There is one aspect of the argument process, however, which has not, in my judgment, received the emphasis which it deserves. And to this extent, the neophyte may go astray. While Justice Jackson has likened oral argument to the stately process of "building a Cathedral,"2 counsel is apt to conclude, after completing a first argument, that the experience is more akin to an intense athletic contest, hedged by rigid time restrictions and potentially fatal fumbles and missteps. Unlike the builder of a cathedral, the Supreme Court advocate does not have the luxury of time, and the preconceived architecture of the argument must, in nearly every instance, be set aside in its entirety. The intensity of the debate, and the shortness of available time, are all important aspects of Supreme Court argument which require the advocate's closest attention.
