PREPARING TO TESTIFY IN COURT


How should I prepare to testify in court?


Tell the truth, listen carefully to each question, and answer only what was asked. Do not guess or exaggerate. If you do not know or cannot remember, say so. Ask for clarification if you do not understand a question. Your lawyer can explain the process and help you prepare without coaching your evidence.
