22 NYCRR 500.18
Oral argument
(a) Argument time. Maximum argument time is 30 minutes per party, unless otherwise directed or permitted by the court upon advance request by letter addressed to the clerk of the court with proof of service of one copy on each other party. In requesting argument time, counsel shall presume the court's familiarity with the facts, procedural history and legal issues the appeal presents. The court may assign time for argument that varies from a party's request and may determine that the appeal be submitted by any party or all parties without oral argument (see section 500.13[b] of this Part).
(b) Arguing counsel. Only one counsel is permitted to argue for a party, unless otherwise directed or permitted by the court upon advance request by letter addressed to the clerk of the court with proof of service of one copy on each other party.
(c) Rebuttal. Prior to beginning argument, appellant may orally request permission from the chief judge to reserve a specific number of minutes for rebuttal. The time reserved shall be subtracted from the total time assigned to appellant. Respondent may not request permission to reserve time for surrebuttal.
