@@1czechit1 In England and Wales the general rule followed in witness preparation cones from the criminal case of Momodou and this was applied in Ultraframe v Fielding. That rule is that witnesses must be familiar with court procedures, court layout and they must be allowed a balanced appraisal of the different responsibilities of the various participants. I'm wondering, however, what is the position in the US in respect of witnesses and in particular in arbitration tribunals rather than court proceedings?
In a civil case, How do you ask(or direct a hearing) the judge to have your witness testify?? “Judge I would like to call on that(etc) person for a testimony”
@@professorporter No, I meant while the hearing is taking place and the multiple witnesses are in court. “Judge I would like to call on “such n such(1 of the 4 witnesses)” to make a statement or testify”? What’s the correct legal way to call on your witnesses? And you can’t use leading questions instead of direct yes and no questions?
An unprepared witness can unknowingly and unwittingly lose a case. So it's very important to prepare a witness for deposition or trial.
it breaks my heart to know how good people get screwed because they did not know enough to defend themselves (with competent counsel's help)

Thanks Wes, you're a good teacher

The requesting party must subpoena the witness to appear.
