Witness Conference Preparation
Structured workflow for witness conference preparation: organise the supplied facts and documents, identify missing information, draft or analyse in stages, and verify facts, authorities and assumptions before use.
This is a reusable litigation prompt from the Litigation AI Prompt Repository. It is intended for Malaysian civil litigation but can be adapted by changing the placeholders. Use the Universal Litigator Control Block first where source discipline, adversarial review and authority verification matter.
Prompt
Prepare a lawful and ethical witness conference plan for `[WITNESS]`. Include: - topics to clarify from the witness’s own recollection; - documents to authenticate or place in context; - inconsistencies requiring explanation; - likely cross-examination themes; - procedural explanation of giving evidence; - boundaries against coaching or rehearsing false answers; - privilege and confidentiality issues; - practical arrangements. Draft neutral questions designed to test recollection, not suggest an answer. Identify amendments required if the witness’s verified recollection differs from the draft statement.
