COLE Litigators PowerHour Chapter 4 – Opening Statements

Closed out 2020 with a solid hour on the importance of Opening Statements to setting your case up for success … and doing so in a way that enhances your credibility with the trier of fact. Thanks much to those icons in the world of military criminal litigation who sent in some questions that guided the discussion.  Particularly for the less experienced members of a trial team, opening statements is your best chance to get on your feet, be the center of attention, and persuade (hopefully in an entertaining, tell-and-show, way).  As always, you can find the episode on Spotify (COLE PowerHour), on the Book page, and I’ll embed below.

Next up, Direct Examination … or Direct Conversation as I like to call it.  Shooting for 7 Jan 2021, same time/same place.
