Writing your opening statement takes weeks of fine-tuning, but the real make or break moment? Delivering it in court. Nerves can zap the confidence and personality right out of you- making you sound robotic and, yes, boring. Plus, all those eyes sizing you up—judging not just your case, but your clothes, your hair, and that weird thing you just did with your hands. Whether you’re talking to a jury of twelve or one, the pressure to get it right for your client is the same.
Just reading words out loud? That’d be a breeze. But you’ve got to connect, convince, and compel them to take action—and your opening statement is your first shot at nailing it.
