Mark Neubauer Authors Article for ABA Litigation Magazine: “The Disappearing Oral Argument”
February 01, 2022

Carlton Fields Shareholder and business litigator, Mark Neubauer, authored an article for the ABA Litigation magazine, “The Disappearing Oral Argument.” Neubauer analyzes the trends of courts preferring “the nonconfrontational determination of legal victory based just on written submissions. Oral argument, which requires the

In his article he notes: “In the last tabulation in September 2020, in all of the federal circuits, only 19.3 percent of the cases decided had oral argument. Just 5,817 cases of the total of 32,796 cases decided on the merits actually had an oral argument.”
