[blindlaw] Signals During Oral Argument?

[denise avant]

Hello
I have done numerous oral arguments
You can let the court kbow ahead of time and verbal warning can be given or the baliff or time keeper can ring a little bell
You can keep time yourself if you do not think that will be too distracting
