However, they have directed longer arguments in certain cases (there is one that comes to mind in recent memory). In any event, NMCCA has, in my observation, been much more lax than CAAF in allowing counsel to go over time, and extending it through their own questioning, sometimes to well over 40 minutes. This seemed particularly so when the former Senior Judge Price was on the panel, for some reason. I’ve never noticed NMCCA directing shorter arguments, as CAAF has done.
