Section 4-61dd-18 - Closing arguments and briefs

At the close of evidence, the presiding officer may, on his own or upon motion, permit the parties to present final arguments on the facts and issues of the case orally and may require the filing of briefs upon such terms and with such time as the presiding officer determines. The presiding officer may require the parties to submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. The presiding officer may deem the failure to brief any claim to be a waiver of such claim.
