What People Are Saying:

A thoughtful and helpful program to help trial lawyers with any prepared portion of their trial. We’ve all seen openings and closings where the lawyer reads scripted remarks in a monotone while looking down, adding some gestures to spice it up. Actors present scripted material all the time, but it seems natural. To help lawyers get off the page (or at least seem to), Steve and Olivia have created this course. It shows you how to present your scripted material (opening, closing, hearings, whatever) without being “boring reading guy.” When you want to present carefully created material but look natural when doing it, look to this course for help.

Essential tools for the trial lawyer! This on-demand course is simply fantastic! In clear and well organized segments, Olivia walks you through how a professional writer/director/actor would design and deliver a compelling opening statement. The content offered is 100% applicable to the demands of an opening statement and, if followed, is guaranteed to result in captivating the audience and preparing them to hear the evidence through the eyes of the presenter. This is the definitive guide to elevating an opening statement from mediocre to outstanding. I will be rewatching these lessons again and again, and am grateful to have this invaluable resource whenever I need it. Thank you, Olivia and Steve!
