Didn't you watch Pretty Woman?!? Seriously, though, this was a great tip. As a prosecutor, I've watched dozens of opening statements from dozens of attorneys. You wouldn't believe how absolutely BORING most of them can be. You'd think that experienced attorneys would be able to grab your attention when describing a knife fight or a home burglary, right? Instead, they're almost as boring as reading through a copy of the tax code. I'm going to refer the other attorneys in my office to this page, so hopefully their openings will start grabbing everyone's attention. Keep up the great work. I love the newsletter!
