State, Justice David’s separate opinion reflects his desire for the Court to take cases in which it can provide guidance to the bench and the bar.122 There, he expressed concern that an attorney misrepresented to the trial court during voir dire that he was entitled to briefly present the case to the jury when permitting this “mini opening” is within the court’s discretion.123 Recognizing that our Court had not yet addressed the proper procedure or scope for mini-opening statements, Justice David felt transfer was warranted to “provide clarity to our trial courts on how to permit and regulate” such statements.1 24 Another example is Cruz Rivera, mentioned earlier for different reasons, where Justice David felt the Court was passing up an opportunity to “provide guidance on the conflict” between a jury rule and a statute.125 These opinions, and others, exemplify Justice Slaughter’s observation: “From the Justices’ private conferences to public bench and bar events, Steve David has urged that Supreme Court opinions serve as a how-to guide for trial judges to understand the law and apply it correctly. Justice David has represented all of us during his last twelve years on the Court and, before that, during his distinguished career in the military, private practice, the corporate world, and the trial bench.	cache/inlawrev-27140.pdf	txt/inlawrev-27140.txt
