On The Stand: Courtroom Testimony for Probation Officers

By P.O. Doe

So you've received a subpoena for court. It could be for a number of reasons: revocation petition testimony, expert witness testimony related to your current or previous supervision of the defendant, you are the defendant in a lawsuit, new criminal offense testimony, parole revocation hearing, civil injunction testimony, and others. You may also need to go to court to see a judge for a search warrant, records subpoena, etc. The major concern of most probation officers is how to obtain the right result while making the courtroom experience less traumatic. On the Stand: Courtroom Testimony for Probation Officers will take the fear of the unknown out of courtroom proceedings. The author explains how officers can best prepare for their day in court and how they can ethically assist the prosecutor in making a stronger case. This book will take the reader through every step of the judicial process, from writing a report through to a hearing or to a trial. Whether the reader has never been to court or testified dozens of times, this will improve the probation officers ability to communicate with and persuade a judge and jury.
