Bond Solon Reviews

The course was incredibly insightful. Richard Stone managed to demystify the legal requirements for expert witnesses. I now have a much clearer understanding of how to structure my reports to comply with CrPR Part 19 and the 2023 Practice Directions. The distinction between fact and opinion was a key takeaway for me.

insightful interesting good starting point for beginners

It was brilliant presentation by the host. the session was very insightful and informative. well structured. I believe having more examples of exp witness reports might have helped.

This is an excellent course, very informative, interactive, and excellent teaching. Thank you Richard Stone and team.

I found the Giving Evidence – Witness Familiarisation training very informative and beneficial to my role. The session provided clear guidance on the expectations when giving evidence, and the courtroom role‑play exercise was particularly valuable. It helped reinforce the practical skills required when presenting evidence, responding to questions, and maintaining confidence under cross‑examination. Overall, the training was engaging, well‑structured, and has improved my understanding of courtroom procedures and my preparedness for giving evidence.

I think the course could be improved with videos showing good and bad technique when faced with different challenges on cross examination. The role playing is fine, but not everyone can participate. And model behaviour would be best demonstrated with examples that can be observed.

Very interesting and insightful.

I think there should be some more focus on the role of the obstetrician in this topic as well. It would have been more applicable to involve an obstetrican with expertise in counselling to take on the parts that will focus on the osbtetric colleagues

Good course from a very experienced trainer who was able to use real life examples to contextualise and bring the subject to life!

Overall, the session was informative and useful. The content was clearly explained, and the examples provided helped reinforce the key principles of producing accurate, structured, and legally compliant statements and reports. The trainer delivered the material well, and the guidance on best practice will be beneficial in improving the quality and clarity of my written work.
