My confidence has improved on the court process. Obviously it is only natural to be apprehensive, however I am really pleased with how insightful the day has been. There was some really supportive advice and it was delivered in a really safe environment where I felt comfortable to be cross-examined and ask questions.

I found the way we went through each persons statements very beneficial. It gave me chance to listen to different statements and consider lots of different scenarios. It was very helpful to see it multiple times and have chance myself to go through points as well.

I thought Rob Gray was absolutely brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and professional. It was clear to me that he really took the time to go through all of our statements, and find real and genuine things to grill us on which therefore made it more realistic and allowed me to feel the pressure and nerves so that when the time comes I will know exactly how it will make me feel and then I can calm myself down knowing that it is not as scary as it seems and that really I shouldn't be scared of giving evidence. I also like how Rob gave each one of us a fair and deserved grilling despite there being so many of us in the class! I now know that I can turn to the judge and ask that I be given time to answer the question properly should the barrister talk over me. I also feel empowered now because I know that when the defence barrister attacks witnesses, it is never personal and is simply a case of them doing their job. I also understand that I should not try to anticipate what I will be asked and try not to think too far ahead, instead I should just answer the question put in front of me. Thank you very much, Rob
