I make a grid/table with all of the cases I cited to and have a few lines about each case to and relevant facts to my case with cites to the record so it gives me an idea of what the case is about if the judges ask specific questions about that case so it will jog my memory. Preparation is key no your brief backwards and forwards. Practice your argument out loud multiple times. Be prepared to not be able to say all you want and to field questions.
Also try and watch the old oral arguments they are archived on the website. Try and find a case similar to yours so you have a better idea as to what you can expect. Don’t forget to breathe and don’t talk so fast.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
