This program will feature insights and perspectives from four expert appellate advocates with extensive experience presenting oral arguments in the Tenth Circuit. During a roundtable discussion, the panelists will offer tips on every stage of preparing for and presenting oral argument, from the day that an argument is scheduled through presenting rebuttal argument. Topics to be covered include selecting the issues to be argued, developing answers to expected questions, participating in moots, dealing with a "hot" or skeptical bench, and reserving time for rebuttal. The panel comprises appellate advocates from diverse perspectives -- with experience representing civil plaintiffs, civil defendants, criminal defendants, and the prosecution.
