Download or read book A Counsel s Guide to Examining and Preparing Witnesses in International Arbitration written by Ragnar Harbst and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering the art of witness examination is essential in order to prevail in international arbitration. Lawyers acting as counsel in arbitration know that witness evidence stands out from the plethora of documentary evidence in terms of uniqueness and authenticity. A vivid, first-hand live account of the events in issue exerts a strong influence on the arbitrators, and a handful of memorable testimonies can outweigh an avalanche of documents. This book shows how such mastery in the art of witness examination is accomplished. In the majority of today's international arbitrations, witness examination is modeled around the common law practice of lawyer-led questioning. Arbitration practitioners are therefore more and more expected to take charge of the examination process. Drawing on the principles of the art of advocacy in the common law tradition, this persuasive and highly engaging book sets out, in great detail, the practical techniques applicable to the use of witnesses in arbitration. The author describes such elements of witness evidence as the following: • differences between common law and civil law systems in regard to taking witness evidence; • techniques for interviewing witnesses and preparing witness statements; • question techniques for direct examination and cross-examination; • methods for developing forceful cross-examinations; • the boundaries of witness preparation; • preparing the witness for direct examination and cross-examination; • psychological risks of witness preparation; • guidelines for witnesses during direct examination and cross-examination. All topics are illustrated by way of practical examples, which also serve as a pool of useful model phrases and expressions. Practical appendices include ready-to-adapt sample documents, such as a procedural questionnaire, procedural rules and a witness statement. The book will be particularly useful for arbitration practitioners who have had little exposure to the adversarial approach to evidence and who wish to learn the ropes of lawyer-led witness examination and preparation. However, any practitioner stands to gain from applying the book's practical guidance and the author's wise counsel.

Book excerpt: The Leading Arbitrators' Guide to International Arbitration Third Edition offers thoughtful advice and insights into the world of international arbitration from some of the most prominent and experienced international arbitrators in the world. The contributors are arbitrators from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. The contributors offer insights and advice on the way in which international arbitrations are carried out from the point of view of arbitrators reading pleadings and memorials and listening to witnesses and hearing arguments. The authors' discussions are intended to be thoughtful, insightful and useful - and perhaps, occasionally, iconoclastic. As a result, there may be instances in which the authors disagree with one another on certain points. This is to be expected for there are often many routes that can be taken to achieve a result. The book will be useful not only to persons who may serve as arbitrators in internatinoal arbitral proceedings but also to those who may, in their position as advocates, wish to persuade persons -- including, perhaps, the authors.
