This session will discuss key issues you need to know when you are asked to serve in this capacity, including: • Standards and other engagement acceptance considerations • Preparation techniques • Do’s and don’ts of testifying • Avoiding commons traps and tricks designed to undermine your effectiveness The session will conclude with a “mock cross-examination” with participants serving as the jury to identify what our witness does right and what he does wrong.
