Oral Argument Clause Samples
The Oral Argument clause establishes the procedures and conditions under which parties may present their arguments verbally before a court or tribunal. Typically, this clause outlines when oral arguments are permitted, how much time each side is allotted, and any requirements for notifying the court or opposing parties. By setting clear guidelines for oral presentations, the clause ensures that both parties have a fair opportunity to advocate their positions and that the proceedings remain orderly and efficient.
Oral Argument. Each of the Parties may, along with its counsel, make an oral argument before the Patent Arbitrator to supplement or augment the analysis contained in the Position and Rebuttal Binders. The length of, and procedures for, such oral arguments shall be determined by the Patent Arbitrator. The Patent Arbitrator may ask questions of the Party and its counsel to assist the Patent Arbitrator in making his determination of inventorship. During such oral argument, the Parties may only use evidence that is of record in the Litigation or set forth in or by reference in the Position or Rebuttal Binders, or was otherwise developed in the Patent Arbitrator’s witness interviews.
Oral Argument. On January 17, 2001, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of PGA Tour v Martin164. The Tour once again argued its position that its tours are not public accommodations, and therefore not covered by the ADA, and that even if covered by the ADA, the use of a cart is a fundamental alteration to the sport. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ attorneys once again claimed that the Tour was subject to the ADA and that walking is not fundamental to professional golf. During oral arguments, the Tour’s attorney, ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, argued that the Ninth Circuit “never took account of just what a top-level professional sport really is … They are simply tests of excellence, of who can perform the best on a set of physical tasks, and those tasks are defined by the rules of the sport.”165 Justice ▇▇▇▇▇▇ seemed to sympathize with the Tour’s position, asking “if the people who make the rules for the PGA Tour say ‘we want to make this particular game tougher than regular golf games,’ why shouldn’t we respect it?”166 ▇▇▇▇ also asserted that Title III applies only to customers of public accommodations such as restaurants and hotels, a category that does not include ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.

This view was forcefully challenged by Justices ▇’▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, both of whom had been important swing votes in past ADA decisions. During ▇▇▇▇’▇ presentations, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ interrupted and wondered if ▇▇▇▇ was “taking too narrow a view” of the ADA’s scope167. After the oral arguments concluded, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was joined on the steps of the Supreme Court by Senators ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Speaking to reporters, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledged the long tradition of walking in profession golf, but concluded that “sometimes tradition needs to give way to the reality of equal opportunity.” When asked his impression of the arguments, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ replied that the only thing running through his mind was that “these nine people just chose the leader of the free world [in ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇], and now they’re going to decide...
