Finally,.remember.that.there.are.speciic.rules.and.proto-
cols.for.expert.witnesses.and.evidence..We.discussed.those.in.
more.detail.in.Chapter.1,.and.your.legal.support.will.under-
stand.and.apply.those.rules.as.appropriate.
Your.responsibility.is.to.be.honest,.prepared,.and.respect-
ful..That.will.mean.dressing.appropriately,.speaking.clearly,.
and. being. polite. and. respectful. to. everyone. present.. The.
more.prepared.you.are.ahead.of.time,.the.less.nervous.you.
will.be.in.your.presentation.
Presenting.to.any.audience,.whether.a.group.of.manag-
ers,.attorneys,.a.judge.and.jury,.or.any.other.group.can.be.
intimidating.. However,. if. you. are. prepared,. have. practiced,.
and.have.taken.the.time.to.hone.your.presentation.skills,.you.
will.come.off.as.knowledgeable.and.reliable.
If. it. is. your. job. to. assist. your. side. of. a. case,. everything.
might.depend.on.the.impression.you.make..A.conident,.well-
spoken,.and.clear.speaker.will.be.much.more.believable.than.
someone. who. is. reserved,. nervous,. and. dificult. to. under-
stand..Even.if.that.nervous.person.is.telling.“the.whole.truth.
and.nothing.but.the.truth,”.he.or.she.is.much.less.likely.to.be.
trusted.by.a.jury.or.any.other.audience.
