I would say that any well-prepared attorney will be able to predict a lot of the questions they are going to receive.

The Supreme Court’s Code of Consuct bans ex parte communications though.

Except as provided by law or Court rule, a Justice should not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications or consider other communications concerning a pending or impending matter that are made outside the presence of parties or their lawyers.
