The Nuts & Bolts of Witness Preparation
Civil Litigation | Original Program Date: May 27, 2015

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

Cross examining counsel: 
Q:  "Mr. Smith I suggest you had no intention of honouring your obligations under the contract from the day you signed it?" 
A:  "No Comment". 

Counsel to her expert in chief: 
Q:  "Ms Jones, are you in a position to tell the Court what the standard of the average real estate agent working in the Toronto area was at the time of this listing agreement? " 
A:  " In Toronto?  No." 

Examination for discovery of defendant
Q: "This document says the defendant company is liable doesn't it? "
A:  "I guess so." 

Get proven strategies and advice on witness preparation for discovery, cross examination out of court, at a trial and before an administrative board or tribunal.  Hear about what works, what doesn't and how to avoid unexpected and potentially disastrous responses from experienced litigators who have seen it all.
