própria plaintiff refers to his/her own complaint brief

Explanation:
Sometimes translated as "initial petition." Since in the US, "opening statements" usually means something given orally, I would not use that here. The "inicial" is what the complainant/plaintiff filed with the court to begin the legal process.
