LTS Q56: In civil cases, do you set time limits for counsel for opening statements, the presentation of evidence and/or closing arguments? If so, please describe your practice?

LTS A56: I generally do not set limits, but I do discuss the length of openings, closings, etc., with counsel before and during the trial, and I encourage counsel to proceed as efficiently as possible given the nature of the case.
