Training Overview
Many people are not happy about being called as a witness, for a variety of reasons. For some people, it is an inconvenience, or they’re weary of constantly changing court dates. For others, testifying will require them to relive something that was upsetting or traumatic. Witness preparation is the attorney’s opportunity to identify the source of apprehension or reluctance about testifying and address it so that both the witness and the attorney are prepared to present the strongest case possible.
In this webinar, we will talk about preparing witnesses to testify in a hearing or trial, both generally and in cases that involve difficult or emotional topics, like domestic violence or animal cruelty, and that require additional sensitivity to the witness’ experience. We will also discuss how to identify potential challenges with a witness and what steps you may need to take to ensure a clear record.
