Witness List

A witness list is a legal document that identifies the individuals a party intends to call as witnesses at trial. It is typically filed with the court and served on the opposing party before trial. The list must include the name and contact information of each witness, as well as a brief summary of their expected testimony. The purpose of the witness list is to provide notice to the court and the opposing party of the witnesses who will be called and to allow for adequate preparation for cross-examination. It can also help identify potential scheduling conflicts or the need for subpoenas to secure the attendance of certain witnesses. Witness lists are an important part of the trial preparation process and can help ensure that all relevant testimony is presented to the court. They are often required by court rules or scheduling orders and can be amended as necessary before trial.
