The Five C's of Witness Effectiveness
Enhancing a witness' effectiveness is the goal of all witness
preparation efforts. Regardless of whether your witness is
an expert or a fact witness, the following five points for
maximizing effectiveness apply:
- Be credible.
Be modest, be patient, and use humor appropriately.
- Be correct. Be consistent with
other witnesses on the same side.
- Be clear. Avoid jargon, colloquialisms,
and overstatement.
- Be concise. Do not volunteer information
or wander off the point.
- Be candid. Be natural, sincere,
honest, and graceful.
