After having presented scores of appellate oral arguments over the years, on Tuesday, Oct. 10, I will be presenting my very first oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court. The court will hear oral argument in two different cases that day, and counsel for a total of three of the four parties will be first-time advocates before the court.

Participating in several moot courts has proved invaluable in preparing for my upcoming oral argument. A moot court, of course, is a practice oral argument session in which the advocate is peppered with questions from other lawyers or law professors who have agreed to serve the role of the judges or justices in the case.
