Please see below a helpful collection of articles and publications we have contributed to in the areas of witness training, witness familiarisation and witness preparation.
From time to time we are requested to contribute various pieces to journals, periodicals and websites worldwide. We also have special guests contribute to our website as well.
The content of these articles varies depending on the audience, but the content generally relates to developments and updates in witness training, familiarisation and the preparation of factual (lay) witness, expert witnesses and professional witnesses both in Australia and worldwide.
