Witness Essentials

What's This Podcast
About?

You are soon to be a witness at a hearing, or as a lawyer you have one or more witnesses that you will be calling at a hearing. Lawyer or witness, you have a common goal: that a witness will present well. It's a rare litigation lawyer who sits down with their witnesses for a fact filled hour or more to explain the "ins and outs" of being a witness. Five to ten inadequate minutes is more likely. But it's all here, it's free, and it can be listened to in just four bite sized episodes ( five if the witness is giving an expert opinion). If you are about to be a witness listen to the episodes and, if you have questions, take them up with your lawyer. And if you are a litigation lawyer, then tell each witness to listen to the episodes, then answer any of their questions. Episodes 1 and 2 are all about witness preparation. Episode 3 is about witness performance at the hearing. Episode 4 is about the lawyers' performances at the hearing. Episode 5 is for those who give their evidence as experts who offer opinions. If you also have an interest in advocacy then listen to the 20+ episode free podcast ADVOCACY IN COURT: PREPARATION AND PERFORMANCE Comments or questions to hughmselby@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
