Preparing Your Witnesses for Court - A Guide for Litigators

Introduction

Many cases, whether civil or criminal, look great on paper.

The witness statements that have been so beautifully crafted seem impenetrable to even the most rigorous scrutiny. However, how many times have you done a case when the performance of a witness under cross-examination does not match their written word on the page?

This one hour webinar will be an invaluable tool for all litigators, and will provide useful guidance and checklists to ensure that all of your witnesses are properly prepared for being involved in court proceedings, whether criminal or civil.
