UCCR 3.09
ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL
(A) The chancellor may dispense with argument in any action.
(B) The chancellor may require counsel to argue or brief the law and facts in any action,
and shall not be bound to decide the same until counsel’s duty has been performed
satisfactorily.
(C) In all cases counsel must be prepared to argue the case at the conclusion of the taking
of the testimony. The chancellor may specify the points of law or fact on which argument
is desired and regulate the order and limit the length of oral arguments. In all cases where
briefs are requested by the chancellor, copies thereof must be delivered to opposing
counsel. Any negligent or willful failure on the part of counsel to fully argue or brief any
question when requested by the chancellor will be considered a grave discourtesy.
