There are really two parts to an opening, the first is to make your case theory know, for example, "this is a case about lies" "this is a case about negligence", really drive that in. followed by a summary of the stipulated facts given in the case book. use phrases like "you will here ____ testify that _____". This sounds a little cheesy but it is proper form. End with more emphases on the case theory.
And also always begin with "May it please the court:"
