11th Cir. IOP 13 (FRAP 34)
Presenting Argument
Counsel should prepare oral arguments with the knowledge that the
judges have already studied the briefs. Reading from briefs, decisions or the record is not permitted
except in unusual circumstances. Counsel should be prepared to answer questions by the court. The
essay Twenty Pages and Twenty Minutes Revisited by Judge John C. Godbold is available from the
clerk on request.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
