NOTICE TO COUNSEL

1. The Clerk timely informs counsel as to the day counsel must be present for oral argument. The Court convenes at 10 a.m. and each case is usually heard on the date assigned. 2. Counsel scheduled to argue must report to the Lawyers' Lounge between 9:00 and 9:15 a.m. on the day assigned for argument. The Clerk will brief you at that time and provide assistance. Identification cards will be issued to the attorneys authorized to oc- cupy seats at argument tables. Counsel arguing cases should not introduce themselves nor introduce co- counsel to the Court at the time of argument. Mem- bers of the Court should be addressed by their proper titles-"Chief Justice" or "Justice," as the case may be- and not as "judge." 3. Counsel are expected to take note of time limita- tions and inquiry should not be made of the Court as to the amount of time remaining. A white light will ap- pear when five minutes remain and a red light when the time has expired. When the Court permits a division of time for argument, the use of more than the agreed time by one attorney does not extend the total time al- lotted. Counsel should conclude argument promptly when the red light appears unless responding to a ques- tion from the Court. 4. During argument counsel should at all times speak into the microphone so that the Justices may hear them and that a clear tape recording can be made. Counsel should also avoid having notes or books touch the micro- phone since this seriously interferes with the recording process. 5. Counsel in cases to be argued in the afternoon should assemble at the Clerk's desk in the Courtroom when the noon recess begins. An escort will arrange expedited service in the public cafeteria located in the Court building. 6. Appropriate attire for counsel is conservative busi- ness dress. If formal attire is worn, it should conform with custom. William K. Suter, Clerk.
