Attorneys for both sides of the case have 30 minutes each in which to present a compelling argument to the justices, giving precedential or constitutional rationale explaining why the Court should rule in their clients' favor. The justices interrupt with questions asking for clarification of points they consider important, which may be different from the points the attorney was hoping to make. Sometimes the attorneys are grilled to test their understanding of the case or subject.
The Court may grant additional time, at their discretion, to hear arguments from amici curiae (Latin: friends of the court) who have an interest in the outcome of a case, but are not party to it.
