Interesting article. A surprise that more is not said about the role of witness training. Most judges agree that it is beneficial and can assist a witness to perform to the best of their ability.
I am reporting on the law, I don’t think its my role to advocate witness training. I cannot see a single reported case in which a judge has said witness training has been beneficial. If I have missed it let me know. I am planning a post on “preparing the witness for trial” and this will be interesting.
(Most people won’t see that your comment was sent directly from the address of a witness training company. )
I do not know the authority for your comment that “most judges agree” that witness training is beneficial”. In the first Jackson report (the preliminary report) “The coaching of witnesses is always to be deplored.” I know that witness coaching and witness training are different things but there must be a very fine line.
I know that some judges read this blog it would be interested to see their views.
The main problem is that only a limited number of clients can afford “witness training”. There is a risk it could put the rich client at even more of an advantage.
