“Witness list – The contents of this section will vary with the attorney. Set up the columns as follows: Names, Address and Telephone Number, Topic, and Time/Date for Testimony. You can also include: background information on each witness (i.e. age, residence, employment, etc.); outline of anticipated testimony, including analysis of the key areas to emphasize; outline of examination (direct or cross, depending on who will be calling the witness; level of detail depends on level of experience of attorney); copies of subpoenas served on witness, if any; digests of depositions or statements given, and possibly the full draft of a statement if not too lengthy; and copies or lists of documents relevant to the witness’s testimony.”
