Hello. I am giving my first oral argument next week and am wondering
what accommodations blind lawyers request for nonverbal signals. It is
my understanding that in the courtroom, different color lights let
attorneys know how much time they have left in their oral arguments.
Do you bring your own timekeeping device to the podium or do you ask
for an oral signal? Also, do the judges generally give you an audible
signal when you may begin your argument?

Thanks.

Tai
