👤 Judge Weksler — standing order
Argument counsel requirement

Judge Weksler strongly encourages litigants to permit more junior members of the litigation team to examine witnesses at trial and hearings and to appear for oral argument. In those instances where Judge Weksler is inclined to rule on the papers, a representation that the argument would be handled by a more junior lawyer (five or fewer years of experience) will weigh in favor of holding oral argument.
