Imagine the Supreme Court without oral arguments. Cases would move faster and probably be cheaper for clients. Larger-than-life advocates like John Roberts Jr. (before he ascended to the Supreme Court) and Paul Clement would be reduced to a signature at the end of a brief. Whether justice confined to paper is better than our current system is a question you can debate in the comments section. But in the European Union's top court, this line of inquiry is more than hypothetical. Under rules that took force Wednesday in the European Court of Justice, the burden is now on the parties to request oral arguments and show why they are necessary. . .
