The Court has a strong commitment to fostering the development of young and diverse lawyers in the legal community. Consequently, the Court strongly encourages litigants to be mindful of opportunities for less experienced lawyers, lawyers from diverse backgrounds, and women lawyers to conduct hearings before the Court, particularly where such members of the legal team drafted or contributed significantly to the underlying motion or prepared the witness. While typically only one lawyer may argue on behalf of a party at a hearing, the Court is amenable to allowing multiple attorneys to argue on behalf of a client to achieve this end. Counsel should advise the Court prior to the hearing if they intend to have multiple lawyers argue a cause pursuant to the Court’s commitment to diversity. Of course, the ultimate decision of who speaks on behalf of the client is for the lawyer in charge of the case, not for the Court.
