The Litigation Psychology Podcast - Episode 220 - Opening Statements Part 1 - What Not To Do

  • Resumen

  • In the first of a two-part episode, Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about opening statements and what not to do in your opening statement. First, Bill explains the primary reasons why opening statements fail:

    1) Attorneys don't get formal training on how to construct an opening statement; 2) Attorneys don't have an understanding of how the juror brain processes information; 3) The games our minds play on us; 4) Many attorneys have less experience and opportunity to do opening statements because fewer cases go to trial.

    Bill shares what not to do in your opening statement: - Do not introduce yourself to the jury; - Don't thank the jury for their civic duty; - Don't start your opening with a corny story or a joke; - Don't discuss the role of the jurors; - Don't go on too long; - Don't read your opening statement from a legal pad or a tablet; - Don't go on the defensive.

    In part 2, Bill will discuss what you should do in your opening statement.
