closing arguments

Closing arguments are the final opportunity for each side in a trial to summarize their case and highlight the most important evidence and legal points. Both lawyers review what has been presented during the trial, emphasize their key facts, and explain why the facts support their position. The goal is to persuade the judge or jury to see the case from their perspective and decide in their favor. While the evidence has already been presented, closing arguments help shape how that evidence is interpreted and understood, guiding the fact-finder toward a fair verdict.
