Tips for Testifying in Court
If you are a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, your testimony will likely be needed in court. While perusing the web I found an article written by a divorce lawyer with general instructions about testifying in court. The below url will take you to Tips for Testifying in Court by John K. Grubb, Esquire. If you are a victim of domestic violence, there are victim advocates available at the local women's advocacy organizations such as SACS in Sharp County, Safe Passage in Izard and Fulton County and SCAPS in Stone County. The victim advocate can attend court with you and help coach you on being an effective witness on your behalf. If you are an Ozarka student and need someone to connect you with one of these agencies, stop by my office (Joan Stirling) on the Melbourne campus in the Administration Building, call my office (368-2007) or email me (jstirling@ozarka.edu.).
