Who caught the Kanye reference?
I'm still recovering from the misery simulator known as Amber Herd's depo...
I am in a mock trial this was a super helpful video! thank you.
Glad it could help!
I am also in a mock trail, is your CC?
Me too! Hopefully it’ll help me as well!
In your guys’s mock trials, could the barristers bring notes to read or is it all memory based
@@craftinghusky8701 same, Tatum Zillias case?
Exactly a month ago, I’ve had my first opening statement at a trial by jury which lasted for 4 days. I remember watching this video the night before!
I hope it went well!
Did it go well?
It went well! I won it with 7 votes in favor and 2 votes against. It’s been one of the most intense experiences I had in my life.
@@martinsmith1678 That's great to hear! Hopefully you were able to take a little time off for yourself after!
What happened ?
This was really helpful. Preparing for my moot trial and I'm now armed with all the arsenals I need. Thanks so much. Will definitely come back to testify of the outcome 😊😊😊
I have my first real trial on Wednesday. I am so pumped! Thanks for the tips.

Hanks for the video it was helpful😊
The Lord of the Rings reference closed the deal for me. Loved it.
This video was very helpful, I’m competing with opening statement right now. Thank you for the help
Glad it was helpful!
Never heard voir dire pronounced like that. Love it. In NY, we say “vwaugh deer”
Haha that's the fancy way!
@@LawVenture 😂😂
Great video
You are a Superstar!
Great advice, Thank you, and I apologize for assuming that a young person on U-tube would be full of B.S. Thank you for the Great advice.
I'm a plaintiff with no lawyer so these lessons are so much help with my confidence
It would also be helpful for instruction on bench trials/hearings.
How would you do step 5 if you are defense and the prosecution is the state? This video was so helpful!!!
Love your content as a pro se litigant!
I learn so much from u Thank you
I have a case with ALJ THIS WEEK
well done
Greatest video
That's right 👍
Thanks!
excellent
Thanks!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Would you elaborate on steps 9 and 10?
Great video! Can you do something on closing arguments?
I'll see what I can come up with!
I love your channel! I wish your examples were a little more concrete (perhaps even a snippet of something you actually used in a past trial), but that's just me asking (read: begging) that you take your videos from a 10 out of 10 to an 11 out of 10. 🤣
You make lawyers look good 👍
I’m pro se in a civil breach of contract with my son. My son with drug addiction in and out of rehab and jail sold property and didn’t pay me back but, this woman he dated for 6mos had him open a joint bank account moved the money closing the acct and my son had no access. He bought and paid cash on a vehicle this woman has possession of. My son placed me on as a security interest holder in order to pay his debt because he had no access to his money. Six months later he signed an notarized affidavit stating he owed me money on the sell of his property. I was his Power of atty two times while in rehab.
How can I open with that mess. Do I lay that foundation or do I save it when I put myself on the stand? Thank you KV
Do these steps help with prosecution
Would you still apply step 2 or other steps in a sentencing trial with no jury?
Thanks for this video. I have to write an opening statement for class, and this is very helpful. I do have one question though:
What if I am not a personable or likable person?
Also wouldn't it be in poor taste to make a joke if the case is about a very horrible crime, like murder and/or rape?
Use your brain it's situational dependent obviously.
If you're not a personable or likable person, you shouldn't be a trial lawyer. Be a different kind of lawyer. There are lots of kinds that don't speak in court.
Would this work if it was a trial with no jury and just a judge? Would you just address the judge in the same manner?
Pretty much. You just don't need to spoon feed the judge as much.
I find it weird now at the age if 47 i look back and think on hiw i always wanted to be a law man law man as in police officer and for many different rrasons and i dont think i KNOW i would have made a fine officer but the more i look back on my past i use to love watching trials on tv but i alwsys had a dislike for attorneys and being honest with my self i think that seed was planted in my head. Not saying all attorneys are bad people but many defense lawyers are scum but now in hindsight i think being a trial lawyer or at least a good one is all about social engineering. The money is there i just always questioned if i could look my self in the mirror each morning knowing i did an excellent job but at the same time put a bad person back out on the street
Can somebody share an example of step 8? If possible, how can an alienated parent be seen as a comr back kid?
Dont represent yourself
I tried to get it d/l says I'm still logged in. No access to login site 😎😞
31k in 3 years is crazy
Ebook
2 Minutes?!? Where I practice, there is no actual limit on opening statement. However, the Court will give a side-eye when opening statement goes beyond 15-20 minutes unless it is a capital case.
It says I need a pasword for the download, where is that?
Lol it says that you need to create a Law Venture account to access the freebie. The password is for you to create with your account
@@LawVenture Thank you.
And I've been tasked with doing the opening.
You create it. I don't see where there's an actual place to log in once you've done that though
To suggest making a joke is foolish and detrimental to client.
It's probably even more detrimental if the lawyer can't charm a jury.
@@LawVenture Bingo!
@@LawVenture Gerry Spence says making a joke is a really bad idea.
@@hockeyslade Do what you think is best. My philosophy is that if I can take a jury through the full range of emotions, then I've been able to connect with them on a deeper level.
Closing....There can only be one true verdict, and you will know when you weigh the evidence, thank you,
