An oral argument is a legal proceeding where lawyers on each side of a contentious issue (such as whether or not the testimony of a particular witness should be allowed into evidence) stand in a courtroom and argue their side out loud by speaking. The judge listens to the spoken argument and makes a ruling either right on the spot or after taking some time to consider what he's heard. Oral argument is in contrast to written argument. In written argument, lawyers on each side of a contentious issue write out their arguments on paper and submit the written arguments to a judge who reads and considers them, then rules on the issue.
