Top Ten Reasons why lawyers don’t request oral argument on appeal, per Anderson.
Of the 34 or so appeals in which I was involved while practicing law, I never argued a case before the MSSC or COA. Anderson’s reason 8 pretty well sums up my thinking on the point. To be honest, though, some of those other reasons applied in some of my cases. Your mileage may vary.
At the risk of overexplaining the joke, none of those reasons is meant seriously. Thanks for the link!
You were jesting, but I was serious.
