Court Rules

Junior Lawyer Participation Incentives

25 rules across 7 courts

Some judges actively encourage the participation of junior lawyers in court proceedings, particularly oral arguments. These incentives typically allow attorneys with fewer than a specified number of years of experience to argue motions, with some judges offering benefits such as an increased likelihood of granting oral argument when a junior lawyer is designated. Several judges permit multiple attorneys from the same side to argue different issues, creating opportunities for junior lawyers to gain courtroom experience alongside senior counsel.
