Womble Bond Dickinson attorney Erin Taylor will speak on “How to Craft Outstanding Opening Statements” at a July 16 webinar presented by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.
Jurors start forming opinions the moment you stand up. A strong roadmap in your opening statement helps them follow your story, understand what the evidence will show, and see the case through your lens from the very start. In this webinar, the presenters will dig into how to build an opening that gives jurors a clear framework, how to weave your roadmap into a narrative that holds jurors’ attention, and how to make sure your version of events—not the other side’s—is the one that sticks. Whether you're in criminal or civil court, you’ll walk away with practical tools to make your openings more effective.
Taylor will be joined in the presentation by Callahan and Fusco attorney Sara Dykes Sibley.
