Episode • Jan 27, 2021 • 28m

Most Supreme Court cases are decided based on written briefs submitted by attorneys. But sometimes the Court grants oral argument in a case and attorneys have the opportunity to speak directly to the justices in the courtroom. Justices generally know where they stand going in to oral argument. Can oral argument be so effective it changes the mind of a justice and the outcome of a case? 

The women take questions during a virtual event by the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists.
