Generally, the time either party is given to refute or oppose a claim or claims made by the opposing party that would not otherwise belong in that party's case in chief. See 254 N.W. 2d 628, 634; also refers to the time given to the party who presented the first closing argument to rebut any claims made by the opposing party in the closing argument, which followed. This rebuttal can only attack those claims made in the opposing party's argument and cannot raise any new issues.

A reply intended to show fault in an opponent's argument.
