Hogan Lovells Partner Cate Stetson Looks Ahead to Milestone of 100 Appellate Arguments
Hogan Lovells' Cate Stetson speaks about how she prepares for oral arguments (spoiler alert: it involves cheeseburgers) and why so few women argue before the U.S. Supreme Court.

When Cate Stetson next argues before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on April 17 (assuming it isn't postponed), she will reach a major personal milestone: 100 oral arguments in federal and state courts across the country.
Stetson is the co-director of Hogan Lovells' Appellate Practice Group and an elected member of the firm's Global Board. She clerked for Judge Stanley Harris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and Judge David Tatel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She joined Hogan in 1997, becoming partner in 2002.
A self-described generalist, Stetson has handled cases ranging from protecting whales to death penalty appeals to the high-profile case of Adnan Syed, of "Serial" podcast fame. In 2018, she argued five cases within 24 days at the Eighth, Eleventh, Seventh and D.C. Circuit courts. "Basically an appellate lawyer's version of the Ironman," she told the National Law Journal.
