<WHERE ARE THE COURTROOMS LOCATED?
There are three courtrooms in New Orleans on the second floor of the John Minor Wisdom U.S. Court of Appeals Building at 600 Camp Street. If more than three oral argument panels will hear cases in New Orleans, some calendars will start at 9:00 a.m. and others at 1:00 p.m. About four or five times per year, the court hears oral argument outside of New Orleans. At least 30 days before oral argument, we will notify you where the oral argument session will be held and what time the session will begin. Once oral argument begins, the cases are heard without interruption, except for change of counsel between cases,until the entire calendar is heard.>
It is my understanding that a 3 judge panel is involved and members of the panels are rotated, so no way for us to know the who or where, until about 7 days before oral argument when info is published on the 5th circuit's site. Corrections welcomed. Opty
