BEFORE TAKING BENCH, THE JUSTICES TAKE TIME TO SHAKE HANDS WITH EACH OTHER (COURT TRADITION) TO REMIND THEY MAY HAVE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION, BUT THOSE DIFFERENCES WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THEIR FOCUS ON JUSTICE

Marshall taps the gavel twice and proclaims: “ALL RISE”

MARSHALL: “The Honorable Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable Supreme Court of the United States are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God save the United States and this Honorable Court!”

JUSTICES FILE TO THEIR CHAIRS AS THE MARSHALL ANNOUNCE THE COURT IS IN SESSSION

CHIEF JUSTICE: “We’ll hear argument now in Number xx-xxx, XXXXXXXXXX V. XXXXXXXXX. Advocates for the Petitioner, XXXXXXXXXX, you may begin.”

After Petitioner’s case is wrapped:

CHIEF JUSTICE: “Advocates for the Respondent, XXXXXXXXXX, you may begin.”

After respondent’s case is wrapped, Chief Justice will call petitioner back to podium if they’ve reserved time to rebut.

After all oral arguments

CHIEF JUSTICE: “This Court is now adjourned until a time in the near future to render decisions or hear new oral arguments. The Clerk will issue a schedule shortly.”

As the Chief Justice and the Justices stand to exit, the Marshall taps the gavel once and proclaims: “ALL RISE”
