Walk into a court room with confidence
About this online course You go to court for one purpose only, to present your client’s evidence to the judge in a manner that is persuasive. You want the judge to accept your client’s version of what actually happened. This is not an easy task. Listen to an expert tell you how it is done. This is a performance skill and requires careful preparation and the deployment of special skills. This program will assist you with the best techniques in handling witnesses so that the judge is persuaded to accept your version.
