In the second episode of his "Powerful Witness Preparation" podcast series, Holland & Knight litigation attorney Dan Small dives right into what witness preparation really entails and outlines seven steps lawyers need to take when preparing witnesses for testimony. Mr. Small explains that too many witnesses are not adequately prepared because lawyers fail to realize that being a witness is an entirely different experience than anything the client has been through before. His seven steps for preparation highlight a key idea for both lawyers and clients to keep in mind: Testimony is not a conversation, and much of what makes for a good conversation makes for bad testimony.
