Episode 2: The Witness Preparation Lab - Turning Clinical Expertise Into Court-Ready Testimony.

A clinically correct witness can still lose clarity. In this episode I walk through the preparation method that keeps testimony accurate, understandable and independent: naming your opinion in one working sentence, building the bridge from opinion to documented evidence, separating facts from assumptions from clinical reasoning, holding up under cross without over-answering, and knowing what you cannot say.

The five questions before you testify: What exactly is my opinion? Which records support it? What assumptions connect those records? What is the strongest alternative explanation? What can I not say because the evidence or my qualifications do not support it?

This is educational guidance, not legal advice. Case-specific preparation belongs with counsel familiar with the facts and the applicable jurisdiction.
