Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 3.3
Statements of Counsel
STATEMENTS OF COUNSEL
What the attorneys say is not evidence. Instead, whatever they say is intended
to help you review the evidence presented. If you remember the evidence differently
from the attorneys, you should rely on your own recollection.
The role of attorneys is to zealously and effectively advance the claims of the
parties they represent within the bounds of the law. An attorney may argue all
reasonable conclusions from evidence in the record. It is not proper, however, for
an attorney to state an opinion as to the truth or falsity of any testimony or evidence.
What an attorney personally thinks or believes about the testimony or evidence in a
case is not relevant, and you are instructed to disregard any personal opinion or belief
offered by an attorney concerning the testimony or evidence.
