💥 LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Opening Statement
💥 Overview
The opening statement is a lawyer’s first opportunity to address the jury in a trial. Generally, the party who bears the burden of proof (plaintiff in a civil case or prosecution in a criminal case) begins the opening statements, followed immediately after by the adverse party (defendant).
💥 Purpose
Opening statements are intended to give the jury a preview of the case. An opening statement describes the parties, outlines the nature of the issue in dispute , presents a concise overview of the facts and evidence so that the jury can better understand the overall case, frames the evidence in a way that is favorable to the counsel’s theory of the case, and outlines what the counsel expects to prove.
While a good opening statement is persuasive, it should not argue the facts of the case or ask the jury to make any inferences or judgments.
