The story: The case begins with a rocket disaster. The payload, a weather-eye satellite, went off course and blew up. The prime contractor sues a sub-contractor who manufactured the component that allegedly caused the accident. A company lawyer and an experienced plaintiff attorney prepare an engineer to testify for the subcontractor in court. Questions and answers illustrate points every witness should know and practice, including how to address a jury and how to respond to tactics of an opposing counsel.
