OVERVIEW

The witness box is an unfamiliar, lonely and dreadful place. Witnesses feel that they are on trial, standing in the dock rather than giving evidence to assist the court. A poor performance can undermine confidence and credibility. Changing testimony can also lead to impeachment. This workshop will develop your skills to excel as a witness.

This course is part of the CSI Series 2
