Open question

July 1, 2020

ALL0-9ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
« Back to Glossary Index

Style of question asked to a witness, one that does not suggest or contain the answer that the party wants the witness to give.  (Rachel wants her witness to describe how Rachel was injured so she used the open question, “What happened on the morning of February 10, 2006?”  instead of the closed question, “Did the broken machine injure me at work on February 10, 2006?”)
