A minimum of two briefs are required, one from the Petitioner and another from the Respondent. The Petitioner is also required to submit a reply as a rebuttal to Respondents Brief. At this stage, interested third parties may also submit briefs containing legal, economic, or historic arguments in hopes to persuade the Justices. The next stage is oral arguments where both sides will have thirty minutes to argue their points and answer Justice's questions. Finally, the Justices gather in Conference and issue their decision.
