Introduction
In this course you will learn tips and review guidelines to help you prepare for testifying in court. While most CASA voluntees are not called to give testimony on the stand, CASAs do present their reports and decisions in court.
Professional Experience
Creating a resume of your volunteer and life experience can help give you confidence. It will also prepare you to answer possible questions about your qualifications to make recommendations regarding the child you advocate for. Being able to explain your background and training history helps establish you as a credible witness and gives your recommendations more weight.
