Qualifying Children to Testify (Webinar)

Research shows that most children understand the meaning and morality of truth-telling before they are four years of age, but even children much older routinely have difficulty with the predicate questions asked in court to qualify them as a witness.

Prof. Tom Lyon will discuss the research on the most sensitive means of questioning children regarding their understanding of both the meaning and importance of telling the truth in court.

This webinar will assist attorneys with practical implications supported by the research, and help attorneys and other allied professionals avoid common pitfalls.
