Ill. S. Ct. R. 351
Sequence and Manner of Calling Cases for Oral Argument
Cases in the reviewing court shall be numbered in the order in which they are docketed. They
shall be called for argument or submitted without argument in the sequence and manner provided
by the administrative orders of the court. The clerk shall give counsel advance notice as to when
the case is to be argued, the amount of time for oral argument, and the requirement of advance
registration, if any. The hour set shall be as definite as the business of the court permits. Counsel
shall acknowledge receipt of the notice of oral argument and advise the clerk if they intend to
argue.
History
Amended December 17, 1993, effective February 1, 1994. Committee Comments This rule replaces former Rule 42. Applicable to all reviewing courts, it leaves each court free to provide by administrative orders for the sequence and manner of calling cases for oral argument. The provision as to the notice to be given by the clerk to counsel is new. The last sentence is also new. If the business of the court permits it to set arguments for two or more starting times during the day, there will be a substantial saving of time and expense to counsel and parties.
