reargue
Make case again
To reargue is to argue again—presenting a case, point, or position that has already been argued before.
The term appears most often in legal contexts, where a court may allow parties to reargue a motion or appeal: The defense filed a motion to reargue.
Outside law, it suggests revisiting a dispute that seemed settled: I don't want to reargue last night's fight.
