Rule 6.908 - Oral and nonoral submission; notice of additional authorities(1)Requests for oral argument. A party requesting oral argument must do so in the party's brief as provided in rule 6.903(2) (a)(10). Oral argument will ordinarily not be granted if it is not requested in the brief except by order of the appropriate appellate court.(2)Denial of oral argument. The appropriate appellate court will deny a request for oral argument if oral argument is unlikely to be of assistance to the court.(3)Grant of oral argument. If oral argument is granted, the court will set the time allotted for oral argument and notify the parties. Oral argument may be conducted in person, by video conference, by telephone, or a combination thereof at the appropriate appellate court's discretion.(4)Issues raised but not argued. Issues properly raised in the briefs will not be waived as a consequence of failing to address them during oral argument.(5)Additional authorities. After briefs are filed, a party may file a notice of additional authorities not cited in the briefs. The notice must include a citation for each additional authority. A concise parenthetical accompanying each citation explaining the relevance of the additional authority may be included. No further argument may be included in the notice. If the case is set for oral argument, the party must ensure that all opposing parties are served with the notice at least 7 days in advance of oral argument unless the authorities were not in existence prior to that time.(6)Use of exhibits and demonstrative aids during oral argument. If a party intends to display exhibits or any other demonstrative aids during oral argument, the party must ensure that all opposing parties are served a copy of the exhibit or aid no later than 7 days prior to the oral argument. No such exhibit or aid may be used in oral argument unless a sufficient number of copies for the court is given to the bailiff when a party checks in for oral argument and it is practical to do so.Court Order October 31, 2008, effective 1/1/2009; Court Order November 18, 2016, effective 3/1/2017; Court Order September 29, 2023, effective 4/1/2024.
