Description
Witness familiarisation training can help prepare witnesses for court appearances.
Witnesses are often petrified of giving evidence for whatever legal forum they may have to appear at, yet their evidence can be crucial to the outcome of a case. Many witnesses have never seen the inside of a courtroom, yet they are expected to face cross-examination without any preparation at all.
Witness familiarisation training helps demystify the process in a legal forum, giving witnesses increased confidence in the witness box, so that evidence can be delivered in the most effective manner.
