Presentation of a case before a court by spoken argument. Oral arguments are common with respect to the presentation of a case to an appellate court.
Oral arguments are spoken presentations to a judge or appellate court by a lawyer (or the party when representing themselves) of the legal reasons why they should prevail. Oral argument at the appellate level accompanies written briefs, which also advance the argument of each party in the legal dispute. Oral arguments can also occur during motion practice when one of the parties presents a motion to the court for consideration before trial, such as when the case is to be dismissed on a point of law, or when summary judgment may lie because there are no factual issues in dispute.
