Law360 has 5th Circ. Publishes Reminder Of New En Banc Time Rule

Of the 30 minutes each side is typically allotted for argument when the full court hears a case, only the first five will be uninterrupted, according to a notice posted on the court's website  . . . Previously, the court allowed for half of the parties' argument time to be uninterrupted, a policy that "was much more generous than what other appellate courts practices permitted," Court Clerk Lyle Cayce told Law360.
