Notice Concerning the Conducting and Scheduling of Oral Argument

As part of the Federal Circuit's efforts to continue court operations in response to ongoing public health emergencies and to provide greater predictability to counsel appearing before this court, the court has directed that in-person arguments have been suspended until further notice.  Cases set for argument after the June 2020 session will be argued telephonically unless counsel is notified by separate order that oral argument is unnecessary.  The Clerk's Office will otherwise continue scheduling cases on the court's calendar under existing procedures.  The full administrative order issued today, May 18, 2020, is available on the court's website (link).
