Most cases accepted for review by the Supreme Court are presented in oral argument. During oral argument each side has approximately 30 minutes to present its case to the justices.
The Court hears oral arguments from September through June. These proceedings are held in the Supreme Court Hearing Room in the State Capitol in Madison, unless otherwise noted on the schedule.
