If you make an opening statement then you are making a promise or promises. Can you deliver on those promises? If you don't then your opponent will point out your shortfall. So cut the cloth of an opening to suit the strength of your case.

Only make an objection when you have both a good legal basis and a tactical advantage. The most common bases for an objection are described.

If you are the 'object' of the objection then fight only those which are worth fighting. Remember that the fact finders are quick to discern both the bullying objector and the 'less than skilled' target.
