Opening statements One of the most important roles for the attorneys is to make an impeccable opening statement. This sets the tone for their job and their position in the trial (for or against) This also puts a message into the minds of the jury…a pre-judgement or sorts. http://www.wikihow.com/Write-an-Opening-Statement Make a compelling case to the jury and the court!

Know the facts Re-read and analyze Ch. 9 Write a numbered outline of the events in the order that they occurred Detail any info/details that could help the court case Re-read and analyze Ch. 23 Who are the witnesses? What statements did they make? Are their statements true? Is there any physical evidence? Who was at the scene? What evidence is there? For the crime? For Muff Potter? About his character? Defense/Prosecution’s job to present the character of the person (as bad…or good) Gather evidence for both sides on your T-chart
