Greetings,
I am writing a novel that includes a part with a bench trial in a civil case. My question is in the absence of a jury, who would the plaintiff lawyer direct his opening statement towards, the judge or those in attendance in the courtroom? Who would he generally be facing during the opening statement in a bench trial? Also, is there a specific name for the part of the room where he gives his statement between the bench and the counsel table? Thanks in advance.
