The annual Judicial Conference of the 9th Circuit grappled with ways to get more courtroom training for young lawyers. The call was raised for more use of a little-known 9th Circuit rule that guarantees young lawyers, whose firms accept a pro bono appellate appointment, an oral argument opportunity before a circuit panel. The advantage for the court is the cases have been identified as containing legal issues the judges need to sort out, and they provide a free lawyer to the indigent client.
