About This Course
This CLE program examines the strategic role of opening statements and closing arguments in jury trials. These moments provide counsel with a critical opportunity to humanize the client, frame the facts, and reinforce a compelling theory of the case. Given the unique dynamics of every trial, lawyers often struggle to find consistency and confidence in crafting effective openings and closings.
This course will outline practical principles and proven techniques to help attorneys present a clear, persuasive narrative and maximize their impact at both the beginning and conclusion of trial.
