Overview
Off the shelf (OTS)
The witness box is a lonely place. Many expert witnesses feel they’re on trial, standing in the dock rather than giving independent testimony to assist the court. Often, public sector experts are unfamiliar with this environment, as few cases go to a full trial.
But a poor performance can undermine confidence and credibility.
Courtroom Skills is an intensive and highly practical training day. First, we examine the theory, practice and procedure of giving evidence, demystifying the process. Then, you’re cross-examined on a case study that you prepare on your field of expertise. An experienced lawyer-trainer will give constructive feedback on your witness-box presentation to help enhance your oral evidence giving abilities.
