Supreme Court of the United States 

NOTICE TO COUNSEL 
  

1. Please note that the North Door (Maryland Avenue) of the Supreme Court building 

opens at 7:30 a.m. for arguing counsel and all members of the Supreme Court Bar. 

Counsel scheduled to argue must report to the Lawyers’ Lounge on the First Floor 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 

occupy seats at argument tables. Coats, hats, and papers may be left in the Lounge. Cell 

phones, pagers, and any other electronic devices are not allowed in the Courtroom or the 

Lawyers’ Lounge and must be checked in a locker at the Court. 

2. When one counsel is scheduled to argue the Court will accommodate arguing 

counsel and two co-counsel at the table. If divided argument has been granted and 

two counsel are scheduled to argue, the Court will accommodate each arguing 

counsel and one co-counsel per each arguing counsel at the table. Counsel arguing 

cases should not introduce themselves nor introduce co-counsel to the Court. Members of 

the Court should be addressed by their proper titles — “Mr. Chief Justice” or “Justice,” as 

the case may be — and not as “judge.” “Your Honor” is also appropriate. 

  

  

3. Counsel are expected to take note of time limitations and inquiry should not be made of 

the Court as to the amount of time remaining. A white light will appear when five minutes 

of your allotted time remains; a red light will appear when the time for argument has 

expired. When the Court permits a division of time for argument, unused time may not be 

ceded to another counsel. Counsel should conclude argument immediately when the red 

light appears unless responding to a question from the Court. 

4. During argument counsel should at all times speak into the microphones so that the 
Justices can hear them and a clear recording can be made; please avoid moving about. 
Counsel should also avoid having notes or books touch the microphones since this can 

interfere with the recording process. 

5. Arguing counsel are allotted six reserved seats in the public section; when divided 

argument has been granted arguing counsel are allotted four seats. All requests for 

reservations must be presented in the form of a letter and sent to: Dale E. Bosley, Esq., 

Marshal, Supreme Court of the United States, Washington, D. C. 20543. Telephonic 

inquiries maybe directed to Mr. Marion Zaczkiewicz of the Marshal’s Office at (202) 479- 

3333. The Marshal’s Office confirms all seating requests in writing. 

6. Appropriate attire for counsel is conservative business dress. 

7. If you have any questions, contact the Merits Cases Clerk, Ms. Denise J. McNerney, at 

(202) 479-3032. 

William K. Suter 

Clerk of the Court
