TL4 x Bond Solon: From Summons to the Stand: How to Best Prepare Your Witness?

Led by Bond Solon, this evening event will take a deep dive into the key stages of witness evidence, from the process of choosing a credible witness and what is considered best practice interviewing, to the vital ingredients that make up an effective witness on the stand.

Chaired by Alex Clements, Director of Witness Familiarisation at Bond Solon, our expert panel will explore the core character traits that make up a credible witness, cognitive interviewing techniques to get the most out of a witness, and how the principles of behavioural psychology can enhance a witness’ performance in court. All this will be considered again the backdrop of Practice Direction PD57AC and its impact on witness evidence.
