Abstract
Despite opportunities for practice and feedback before making an appearance before the Court, some advocates make errors—everything from strategic errors to mistaking one justice for another. This chapter classifies the types of errors and suggests proper procedures for preparation, capitalizing on the self-reports of successful advocates. It examines the effect of the backgrounds of different types of advocates on their rate of success before the Court.
