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 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!
I am preparing to argue on to a moot court team at Tulane Law School and found this very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video, I will use your technic in class.
This was really helpful. Thank you for posting this!

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.”
Yes, thank you Frank!
You're welcome!
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 :-)
Just want to say thank you for your videos. I am a 1L student headed into my first mock trial and found your advice to be extremely helpful. Your tips will definitely be put to use.
DanielGonz1000 You are very welcome. Good luck with mock trial, school, and your legal career! Mitch

I love your videos! Any tips on representing myself in the Workers Comp Hearing in Hawaii?
Thank you very much!!
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
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!!

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
second opening statement was definitely better
Will Ferrell?
