Practice Pointer: Why Are Some Federal Circuit Cases Decided Without Oral Argument?
March 30, 2018
Authored and Edited by Elizabeth D. Ferrill
On average, each panel of the Federal Circuit decides approximately one case per day solely on the briefs. Cases can be designated for no oral argument if: an appeal is frivolous, the issue or set of issues has been authoritatively decided, or the facts and legal arguments are presented in the briefs and would not significantly be aided by oral argument. If one member of the panel requests it, oral argument will be held.
