Here is a LINK to an article of mine that appeared in the May/June 2025 edition of The Pennsylvania Lawyer Magazine published by the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
The article is entitled "Use of Exhibits in Opening Statements is Allowed" and analzyes the recent decision by Judge Terrence R. Nealon of the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas in the case of Webb v. Scranton Quincy Hosp. Co., LLC.
In his Opinion in the Webb case, Judge Nealon laid out, for the first time, the law that supports the use of exhibits during Opening Statements in personal injury matters.
Gone are now the days where lawyers could only utilize exhibits during Opening Statements if the opposing counsel has no objection to the same. Now there is law that can support a desire to utilize exhibits during an Opening even if the opposing counsel objects.
I send thanks to Patricia Graybill, editor of The Pennsylvania Lawyer Magazine for agreeing to publish this article.
