1l oral arguments
“As a member of the ABA for well over 40 years, I have treasured and benefited enormously from my association with wonderful, experienced, wise and public spirited lawyers from throughout the United States — indeed, internationally.”.Free membership includes 3 months of Quimbee, membership in 5 free ABA specialty groups, standard ABA lawyer discounts, and more.So, you recovered from your 1L fall semester, binge-watched Netflix over Winter Break, processed your first semester grades, and returned to school in January somewhat refreshed and ready to tackle a new semester of classes.
I tried that strategy—for decades—heeding advice from extroverted and non-anxious mentors to “just face my fears,” “do what scares me,” “imagine the audience in their underwear.” That stuff doesn’t work.You know what did work? Have you ever been in a class or a meeting in which someone who has never spoken before suddenly chimes in with a gem of information or a thoughtful perspective, and you sit back and think, “wow!” That’s you. At the end of my 1L year, I muddled through my oral argument by developing a spontaneous hair twirling tic. I loved reading, researching, and writing, but the Socratic method of classroom instruction gave me a daily migraine. Next, untangling the mental and physical components of that anxiety and fear. If you’re a naturally quiet law student—perhaps an introvert who processes energy, information, and stimuli internally, or a shy or socially anxious person who is worried about criticism from others—you also possess incredible assets that our legal profession needs: active listening, deep thinking, thoughtful writing, creative problem-solving, and empathy.For many of us, it’s the anticipation of judges’ interruptions with questions during an oral argument that makes this particular performance scenario feel more daunting than a straightforward presentation. I was an introverted and socially anxious law student. Personally, I immediately hear messages like, “You’re not as smart as they are…You’re going to turn beet red…Your brain is going to freeze.” Transcribing these messages word-for-word really helps us get down on paper the useless messages we have been listening to for way too long. Breathe in the space. Our oral arguments do not need to go perfectly. Get to know the room, what the podium looks like, where you will sit before your argument, where the judges will sit.
You can.Quiet individuals can be incredibly impactful communicators. We can stop, breathe, remind ourselves of our new mission, refer to our substantive planning, adopt an athlete’s balanced physical stance, and amplify our authentic voices.Nervous about your 1L oral argument?

In addition to our substantive preparation for the oral argument (a folder with the argument outline, answers to anticipated judges’ questions, case law summaries), we prepare mentally.

We can open back up, unfold, throw our shoulders back, balance, and breathe.Next comes our mental and physical action plans. We think we have to fake that confidence. Send nervous energy into the floor or the podium. Make that room yours. Project your eye contact and eventually your voice to the far end of the room. 1L, Oral Arguments, Heidi K. Brown Heidi K. Brown is an associate professor of law at Brooklyn Law School and a former litigator. Perfection is boring. To wrangle the nerves and get our points across clearly, we can take a two-pronged mental and physical approach.In anticipating an event like the oral argument, it helps to mentally reflect on the negative messages we automatically and routinely hear. It didn’t. You own it.
