Strategic Witness Preparation, a DVD set providing 4.25 hours of CLE, is a unique, innovative and entertaining resource for attorneys who need to prepare witnesses for hearings, depositions or trials. This program focuses on witness preparation from the perspective of 10 well-known and respected trial consultants from across the country (see below), who have years of experience and expertise in the field. It's like 10 programs in one! This practical, original program covers a wide range of topics, including the 5 Elements and 10 C's of Credible Testimony, myths involving witness prep, developing rapport with clients and witnesses, the 3 Steps for witness responses, the 8 Critical Steps for witness preparation, and much, much more.
With humor and insight, these consultants provide sensible and novel recommendations for handling 13 of the most challenging witnesses. These include the dishonest witness, the narcissistic witness, the controlling witness, the professional witness, the angry witness, the noncompliant witness, the rambling witness, the scared witness, the theatrical witness, the bored witness, the uncertain witness, the insensitive witness and the whining witness. To illustate the points made, extensive witness clips are used throughout the DVDs. A Study Guide accompanies this 2 DVD set.
Make sure all the lawyers in your firm are as prepared as they can be with this valuable DVD-set, that can be used again and again in your firm!
Buy additional copies of the Study Guide Booklet for every lawyer taking the course!
The Strategic Witness Preparation DVD/CLE package is perfect for training everyone in your firm on preparing witnesses. But some states require each participant has their own copy of the printed materials. When this is the case, you can buy additional copies of the study guide for each of the lawyers applying for CLE credit.
Even if it isn't required in your state, extra copies of the study guide will allow each lawyer to keep their copy for easy reference to the strategies and techniques presented in the DVDs. Buy a copy for each lawyer in your firm and make sure everyone is ready for their next witness preparation session!

"If you ever prepare witnesses to testify, you need these DVD's on your shelf. They offer innovative and practical solutions to the challenges of witness prep from leading trial consultants.

--Patricia Lee Refo, Esq., Snell & Wilmer. LLP
"This program provides a critical examination of the most important, yet sometimes forgotten, part of any trial, the preparation of witness testimony. Jan Spaeth has gathered an array of America's best trial consultants to put together a comprehensive guide to understanding how witnesses communicate in court. Although I've been actively involved in the trial of criminal defense cases for over 45 years, I've never seen a program providing an in-depth analysis of the steps a careful lawyer should take in preparing a witness for trial. I found a good deal of the material provocative, providing invaluable insight into this important subject. The materials have a huge value to trial lawyers in making them mindful of their ability to improve witness' credibility. This program will provide a very useful tool."
--Robert J. Hirsh, Esq., Public Defender, Pima County Public Defender Office
"I watched these 2 DVD's on Strategic Witness Preparation and was very impressed. First, I would note that the faculty of consultants assembled for the program was first rate, and their collective and individual academic and professional credentials were apparent. I found the presentation style and format to be interesting, informative, and enlightening. It never ceases to amaze me how we can always learn something new or different in areas where we, as lawyers, think we understand how things work."
--Mark S. Lester, Esq., Lester & Cantrell, LLP
"The DVD's do a good job of discussing common types of witness problems and suggested measures to deal with those problems. A lawyer's trial preparation work includes actively making witnesses more credible. The DVD's are particularly useful in teaching trial lawyers that they do not need to "accept" trial witnesses the way they initially appear and present themselves. The DVD's are also particularly useful to trial lawyers who may not be familiar with the various things consultants can do to help witnesses testify persuasively at trial."
--Thomas A. Mauet, Esq., Director of Trial Advocacy, James E. Rogers College of Law, The University of Arizona
