Example of a good mock trial opening statement?

Postby burt » Wed Aug 01, 2012 10:18 pm

i'm the plaintiff's attorney for my college mock trial team, and i have to write out an opening statement. however, i have no idea what to write. is there some kind of a written example of a good opening statement online?

the case is mcgee v. school board of dallas county. Ronald and Randi McGee, individually and as personal representatives of the Estate of Rebecca McGee, have filed a wrongful death complaint against the School Board of Dallas County.

The complaint alleges that a teacher employed by the School Board and pressed into service as a school bus driver was negligent in stopping the school bus ridden by Rebecca and Rachel McGee on the wrong side of the road at an undesignated stop, thus requiring Rebecca and Rachel to cross six lanes of traffic to get to their home. While attempting to cross the street, Rebecca was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by Dana Dalton. Ronald and Randi McGee, Rebecca’s parents, seek damages for the Estate and for themselves individually.

The School Board has filed an answer denying the allegations of the complaint and raising the affirmative defense of negligence of others who are not parties to the action (specifically Dana Dalton) as well as the contributory negligence of Rebecca McGee.

I am the plaintiff's attorney.

Stand up. Lightly tug on your suit to fix it. Then point at the other guy and say "Whatever that guy just said is bullshit."
