As an ethics presentation it will count towards practitioners’ ongoing ethics CPD/CLE training compliance obligations.

The video, titled “Witness Preparation: Safely Walking a Fine Ethical Line” was initially presented by one of Loquitur’s barrister-trainers, Steven Hogg of McPherson Chambers live to King & Wood Mallesons. The video discusses:
The concepts and ethics of witness proofing, witness preparation, witness training and witness coaching
The various ethical practice rules and obligations relating to witness preparation
Cases, both in Australia and abroad, where witness preparation was (and was not) conducted in an ethical manner
Explains how witness familiarisation can help practitioners in ethically preparing both witnesses of fact and expert witnesses across all types of claims and other contentious matters
Concludes with a brief mock cross examination similar to those conducted by Loquitur as part of our specialised witness training courses
Trusted by law firms, witnesses and experts
throughout Australia and globally
