Civil Litigation-Opening Statement

Posted on August 11, 2008 by Brien Roche
Once a jury has been chosen, the court will allow both parties to have opening statements. The purpose of opening statements is to allow the attorneys to give the jury a road map of where the case is going to go. Opening statements are not intended to be argumentative, but are intended to simply be a recitation of the facts that will be presented during the course of the trial.
