Rule 605.5.Oral Argument.

(a) Request. Either party may serve and file a written request for oral argument not later than 10 days after the date on which appellant's reply brief or memorandum is due, pursuant to Rule 605, or pursuant to any extension of that time granted under Rule 502 or 503. If no appellee's brief or memorandum is filed, the appellant's request for oral argument must be filed within 10 days after the due date of the appellee's brief or memorandum. No response to a request for oral argument may be filed.

(b) Right to Oral Argument. In an appeal from a civil case where the controversy on appeal concerns less than $300 or from a minor offense as defined by District Court Criminal Rule 8(b), oral argument will be scheduled only if ordered by the superior court for good cause shown. In all other appeals, oral argument will be scheduled automatically if timely requested by either party.

(c) Time Allowed. The time allowed for oral argument, unless otherwise ordered, is 15 minutes per side.
