}IOTICE TO COUNSEL

1. The Clerk shaIl inform counsel of the day counsel
must be present to orally argue a case. The Court convenes at
10 A.M. and the case is usually heard on the date specified.
Every effort is made to reach cases on the assigned day.

2. Counsel who is to argue must register with Francis
J. Lorson, the Chief Deputy C1erk, in Room G26 at 9:05 A.M. or
shortly thereafter on the day assigned for argument.
Identification cards wilI be issued to those attorneys who are
members of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States
authorized to occupy seats at argument tables. There is space
at the table for three (arguing counsel and two others). If
divided argument has been granted and two counsel are to
argue, there is room for two arguing counsel and one other.
Counsel arguing a case should not introduce hlmself/herself or
co-counsel to the Court.

3. Counsel is expected to take notice of time
Iimitations and inquiry should not be made of the Court as to
the amount of time counsel has remaining. A white light wl11
appear when five minutes remain and a red light when the time
has expired unless other arrangements are made with the
Marshal in the Courtroom. Counsel should conclude argument
promptly when bhe red Iight appears unless he/she is then
being questioned by a Justice.

4. When counsel de-sires to reserve time for rebuttal,
or when divided argument has been authorized, arrangement may
be made with the Marshal, prior to the time the case is
called, to have an appropriate signal flashed at a specified
time. When counsel have agreed to a division of time for
argument, the use of more than the agreed time by one attorney
does not increase the total time aIIotted. During argument
counsel should at alI times speak into the microphone so that
his/her voice wil-I be audible to the Justices and to lnsure a
clear tape recording. Counsel should avoid having notes or
books touch the microphones since this seriously interferes
with the recording process.

5. Counsel in cases to be argued after the luncheon
recess should assemble at the Clerkfs desk in the Courtroom
when the recess begins. An escort wiIl arrange prompt service
for arguing eounsel in the cafeteria.

6. If arguing counsel desires to have space reserved in
the publlc section, he/she must conbact the Marshalrs Office
afier completion and return of the Argument Form to the CIerk.
A letter concerning reservations, ihcluding the names of
guests, should be sent to: Honorable AIfred Wong, Marshal,
Supreme Court of the Unlted Stabes, Washington, D.C. 20543.

7. Appropriate attire for counsel is conservative
business dress. If formal attire is worn, it should conform
with custom.
