Closing Argument

Opening Statement

WARNING: YOUR OPENING STATEMENT OR CLOSING ARGUMENT MAY BE USED AGAINST YOU

Temple University Beasley School of Law - Advocacy

JANUARY 16, 2024

It is rare, but the principle has been applied to treat an opening statement as a binding admission. The same has been applied to closing arguments. Your words in an opening are grist for your opponent’s mill – they may be thrown back at you as promises that were broken or apparent concessions. GMC , 110 F.3d

Imagine giving your opening statement and let your theme and initial grabber bubble up. Conclude by imagining your closing argument, packaging the story for maximum impact. See yourself delivering the argument in a strong and confident manner. Hear your opponent giving their argument as well.
