Oral Arguments

The Art & Law Oral Arguments consist of presenters who present 7-minute talks on works, projects, and ideas related to art and law. Like Pecha Kuchas, Oral Arguments are presented similarly – each presenter has a timed presentation of 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds. That’s just 6 minutes and 40 seconds to explain their work, project, or idea related to art and law. The Oral Arguments are followed by a Q&A session and a small reception.

For more information on Oral Arguments, or how to become a presenter, please email Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento at sms@artlawoffice.com.
