The deposition process and being called to testify in a live trial can be a terrifying and worrisome experience. That is why CSI provides witness evaluation and training services. Whether you are taking a deposition or headed to the courtroom, our training will prepare a witness before any legal testimony is placed on the record.

Witness Evaluation
CSI litigation consultants identify aspects of demeanor and delivery that frequently undermine the credibility of otherwise effective witnesses. Our consultants take witnesses through a series of communication procedures to evaluate their potential effectiveness while on the stand, and identify potential problems with witnesses’ communication styles.

Witness Training
Assisting the lawyers in the preparation of an important witness is considered critical to ensure his or her testimony has maximum juror appeal. The training is conducted by CSI litigation consultants, in concert with the attorneys working on the case. CSI Witness Training addresses both content and delivery.

Witness Effectiveness Testing With Jurors
CSI litigation consultants have learned that the best assessment of how an individual is likely to behave in a certain situation is to observe him or her under similar circumstances. In terms of evaluating legal witnesses, a true measure of how a witness will do on the stand is best obtained by simulating the pressures and pace of the courtroom. CSI can conduct one or more sessions with appropriate witnesses through live direct and cross-examination before mock jurors in a trial-like setting.
