    Not what I expected

    The first video was longer than necessary. One of the main messages being sent was credibility and teaching the ability to speak in front of others. The man in the first video seemed to speak off the top of his head and ramble at times. His statements did not seem well thought out. He said things like "telling your whole report" or "re-clarifying". You don't re-clarify, the word clarify itself means to make something more clear or resolve confusion. I am a teacher (Forensic Science teacher) so perhaps this just stood out to me since this is what I do all day, speak in front of a group. I did appreciate the course and I did learn from it. I particularly enjoyed the video with the attorneys. I was hoping to gain more specific knowledge about what you can/cannot do on the stand not just guidance on how to give credible testimony. Still a good course, thank you for offering it online.

    Good class with great tips and information

    With my first upcoming jury trial as a detective, this class gave me a lot of tips that I know will help me. The entire class was very well put together.

    Mock testimonies and cross-examinations are a wonderful way to see the do's and don'ts I think it would be helpful to have more both good and bad.

    I have never testified in a court on my cases. However, if I have to in the future, this course has definitely prepared me. Again, great course!

  • Jane
    (5)
    Courtroom Testimony

    I thought this was an excellent review for me and I would add that you should also learn to pause when the defense asks a question as this will allow the prosecutor to object if need be especially when the defense starts to either badger or intimidate the witness.

  • George

    was good

  • Amari
    (5)
    Preparation

    This would definitely be a help to those who have never testified before. This is the proper way to do things accordingly, as the best practices for the 'win'.

  • Christine
    (5)
    very through.

    I really enjoyed the lessons, my only complaint is that in the videos it is stated that we should look at the attorney when he is asking a question, and to answer we should look at the judge or jury. The quiz only accepted jury as a correct answer. Otherwise a good series of information.
