Definition Of Opening Statement:


nIntroductory remarks made by an attorney at the commencement of a trial, in which he outlines the evidence that is expected to be proven.
Although sometimes referred to as an "opening argument," this term is a misnomer, as the lawyers are not permitted to argue any points that have not yet been introduced into evidence.
