Description
If you've ever been a witness in court, you may already know that its quite an unnerving experience. Many expert witnesses report feeling they're on trial, standing in the dock rather than giving independent testimony to assist the court. Often, 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 in your field of expertise. A professional trainer with extensive experience in court witness appearances, gives constructive feedback on your witness-box presentation.
