Event Outline

The major challenge in the drafting of an opening statement is to be complete without bogging down the reader with unnecessary or irrelevant detail. Good opening submissions will not simply rehash pleadings but instead summarily merge fact, evidence and law to signpost for the trier of fact what to focus on when witnesses subsequently take the stand. This module will guide participants with how to craft an effective opening statement that will aid (and not confuse) the oral advocacy to follow.
