Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.923
Arguments
The parties may either submit the case or argue it. The party with the
burden of the issue shall have the opening and closing arguments. In opening, the party shall disclose
all points the party relies on, and if the party’s closing argument refers to any new material point or
fact not so disclosed, the adverse party may reply thereto, which shall close the argument. A party
waiving opening argument is limited, in closing, to reply to the adverse argument; otherwise the
adverse party shall have the closing argument. The court may limit the time for argument to itself,
but not for arguments to the jury.
