Super solid! Here's my unsolicited advice for anyone watching this: in this situation, I recommend spending more time focusing on which doubts, questions, and/or concerns of the case are reasonable. By vaguely mentioning that there are pieces of the puzzle missing, you're actually not accomplishing much. Technically, the puzzle will never be 100% complete for a juror (only witnesses with personal knowledge will ever have 100% certainty of something). Therefore, it's more effective to specifically point out the missing puzzle pieces and rhetorically ask questions for each one. And then you'll want to explain that these questions are reasonable, which results in reasonable doubt. By asking reasonable questions during Closing, you'll be arming the jurors with doubt that they can use when they deliberate (even though this example is for Mock Trial). Hope this helps!
1. find cleaver way to humanize your client.
2. recap the key facts of the case
3. vary your tone and speed for emphasis
4.use analogy to explain the heavy burden of reasonable doubt
6. communicate your theory of the case
7. restate your conclusion
Where 5 at tho?
@@dontme6996 oooooooh
It hurts my stomach thinking I have one of these in a week. I'm a law student at uiuc. I enjoy talking and have no problem giving presentations, however for some reason this one is making me feel sick.
I believe in you! Its a question of practice
For what it's worth, I'm a trial lawyer that owns his own law firm and posts UA-cam videos about trial advocacy... and I STILL get pretty nervous for certain arguments. Trust me, there's nothing wrong with being nervous! I've learned that my nerves hit me when it's a super big case or I'm REALLY wanting to kill it. Either way, it's all about turning that energy into focus so you're prepared for anything and everything. Hope your argument went well!
i have one due for today and I havent started yet
Thanks a ton! I have a mock trial tomorrow for seventh grade, my teacher and classmates are honestly not taking this trial too seriously. Like, their opening statements were basically: "I believe that my client is not guilty because he did not steal those items." Like, what? Anyway, I wanna make sure my closing statement is top notch, so thanks again!
I am also in seventh and named Alina
Cool
probably bc you are in seventh grade, and therefore wouldn't be graded too harshly
Keep at it you could be a great lawyer
@@alinaabraham9193 how’s tenth grade?
i'm not even a law student but for some reason I really enjoyed this one
I'm on teen court for my school and have been opening, questioning, and closing for many cases but recently I got a case that I'm closing for defense that simply stumped me, I had no idea how I could possibly connect with the jury to show that my defendant had simply messed up with out saying it bluntly and seeming ignorant but after watching this video and others I know exactly what I want to say and how. Thank you so much :)
This was bomb ! Great job ✊🏾
awesome job. clear throughout. love the emphasis on BOP. well done
thank you for telling me how to make a good closing statement it will really help me out in my mock trial in school.
Thanks Preston. These videos are extremely good from a learning perspective. The principles shown in this presentation are just as applicable in Australia as in your country. I can write a good slab of my final paper from these videos. Thanks again. xx
Lily, really happy that it helped!

Thank you for your help - I am hoping to be admitted as a lawyer in Australia in the next few months and this video has helped me in one of my last taks I am required to complete.
