Calendaring of Cases

activein force · 2024-06-12 – presentact-effective-date

(a) Calendar. Each month the Chief Judge, with the assistance of the Clerk, will prepare and post

a calendar of cases to be argued in the second month after the posting. The Clerk will place

expedited cases on the next available calendar after the case is ready to be submitted. The calendar

will indicate the docket number, the short title of the case, the names of counsel, if any, for each

party, and whether the case has been placed on the regular or the summary calendar. The Clerk

will notify the parties that the case has been calendared. Because the calendar will be posted in the

public office of the Clerk as well as on the court’s website, and because it will be published in the

Daily Washington Law Reporter, the failure of counsel or a party to receive another notice will

not excuse a failure to appear when the case is called for argument.

(b) Regular Calendar. Cases on the regular calendar will be scheduled for argument. The Clerk

will notify counsel and each unrepresented party of the specific date and time for oral argument

approximately 30 days in advance.

(c) Summary Calendar. Cases on the summary calendar will not be argued unless a request for

argument is approved by the court or argument is ordered sua sponte. Motions for oral argument

must demonstrate good cause and be served on all parties and filed with the Clerk within 10 days

after notice of calendaring has been transmitted by the Clerk.
