My left ear is going to become a great lawyer.
I am writing an opening statement for both the plaintiff and the defendant for my legal class. This was extremely helpful!! Amazing incorporation of the five senses. Brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you for your key insights especially the five senses approach. With this approach, you emotionally put the jury in the victim's shoes in a way that trumps any express mention of doing so, which is off limits. The key take away from your excellent demonstration is paint a picture in technicolor. Thank you!
I am preparing to argue on to a moot court team at Tulane Law School and found this very helpful. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing this video, I will use your technic in class.
Very informative video. An ethos approach to me is a good approach. This was excellent!
You sir...had my attention totally captured that second time! Great opening statement model!
Great Video, Thanks for posting!
This was really helpful. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you so much for post this, I am presently working on a play and needed an opening statement.
wonderful clip, so helpful.
This helped alot!! Thanks
Thank you this was excellent!
thank you for posting, it's a great, helpful too for us Court Interpreters, too.
I think so. However I do believe that using this particular approach or maybe incorporating several of the 5 senses while sharing an "experience" is the more powerful way of making your point :-)
7/15/2021 1. Don’t say “If i could take you back to ...,” say “Let me take you back to ....,” because that is what you’re doing. Alternatively, you can just go back by saying “It is July ....” 2. Avoid saying “about,” “approximately,” and other such vague and meaningless terms which are not helpful and sow uncertainty and doubt. If it is 16 mph, just say so, or be conservative and say “15 mph.”

Very helpful
This is helpful. I'm trying to convey to a jury a man in a nursing home, paralyzed, helpless, unable to ring his call bell for help. He has a fever, his pulse is racing 178 beats per minute...... attending dr. prescribed antibiotic for urinary infection. Wasn't the source of the infection. He didn't bother to come to nursing home to examine his patient. Patient died of sepsis and pneumonia. If you have any thoughts on describing this situation, I'd appreciate it!!
Could you please give us an example of an opening for the defense? I feel like the plaintiff side can easily gain sympathy in a negligent homicide case but I don’t know how the defense could gain sympathy
I am really sorry, but there is a part of the video you mention: "readline channel" perhaps I am typing it wrong, but can you give me the exact words please?? Thank you so much in advance
can you connect in other ways like and experience that does not have five senses?
This was sooo helpful i love this method thanks for the idea
