Courthouse Gallery

The Calhoun County Courthouse was built in 1973. The three story yellow brick building is accented by six large white columns. A war memorial dedicated to Calhoun County citizens who lost their lives serving our country is near the courthouse entrance.

Witness Preparation: Why Not Do It Yourself?
Usually, witness preparation is done by the lead attorney on a case; sometimes it is done by an associate. On an increasing basis, however, witness preparation is performed by a litigation psychologist with expertise in human behavior. Why use a litigation psychologist instead of keeping witness preparation in house? There are several reasons why the use of a litigation psychologist to prepare an expert or a fact witness is warranted: potential or actual conflict between the attorney and witness; limited time and/or resources of the attorney to effectively prepare a witness; and, when the witness has special needs that are best handled by an expert in human behavior. A litigation psychologist can maximize the attorney’s time and resources, minimize or eliminate attorney-witness conflicts, and bring out the best in the witness with special needs.
