4. Counsel must wear court-appropriate attire and choose an appropriate background.
The time for oral argument will be limited to twenty minutes for appellant's opening argument, twenty minutes for appellee's argument, and ten minutes for appellant's rebuttal argument. If any participant's link is disconnected during argument, timing of the argument will stop until the participant is able to reconnect.
