Division of Argument Time for Multiple Counsel is a practice that allows multiple attorneys to divide the time allotted for argument in a court case. This is often done when multiple attorneys represent the same party, or when multiple attorneys represent different parties in the same case. It is also sometimes referred to as “splitting argument time” or “splitting argument time among multiple counsel.” The practice is typically used when there are multiple legal issues in a case and each attorney needs time to address them. There are two types of Division of Argument Time for Multiple Counsel. The first is “joint argument time,” in which each attorney takes a portion of the allotted argument time and presents their argument consecutively. The second is “separate argument time,” in which each attorney takes their allotted argument time and presents their argument separately.
