In discussing the benefits, he offers suggestions to counsel on how best to prepare for the oral argument and how to address the bench's questions during the argument. Judge Kavanagh stresses the importance of being thoroughly prepared to answer any and all questions, the significance of which is “…how counsel responds to questions posted by the court during oral argument can make a difference, and can determine how a particular judge will ultimately vote on the appeal.”
