"You'll be doing closing arguments, which are very similar to opening arguments, except that you'll want to incorporate points from the trial itself. If you got a damning admission on cross, if you made salient arguments with your own witnesses, this is the time to pull those out."
"Or." And that was probably unexpected. "Or, you can postpone your closing arguments to next week, and instead ask questions about the draft you're working on so far. In that case, I'll expect a slightly more impressive close."
"In the meantime: we'll be reviewing for next week's final. Ask questions. And if you'd like to go over a past scenario that you're fuzzy on, I have the Danger Shop controls set up. You can do more Voir Dire, or examining witnesses, or anything you'd like."
"Shall we?"

(OOC: Alex's sample opening statement (in the marked OCD thread below) discusses violent crime and predatory behavior, and thus could be triggery. Please avoid if that is upsetting. The rest of class should be fine.)
