Part I covers the vital legal and ethical considerations of preparing various types of witnesses for trial. This legal playbook is organized into three parts: preparation, presentation, and assessment.
The merger, he contended, would in no way upend the ambitions so many hold for literary success.A critical component of virtually every criminal trial, witness testimony has the power to make or break your theory of the case.
