A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, an “opening” refers to the initial statements made by attorneys at the beginning of a trial or hearing, outlining the facts of the case, the legal theories to be presented, and the evidence that will be introduced to support those theories. It is an opportunity for each party to present their case and set the stage for the proceedings that will follow.
Example: The opening statement presented by the prosecution set the tone for the trial.
