A witness is not required to decide what evidence to present. Instead, the witness is required to truthfully answer the questions that posed. Those that are present depend in part on the nature of action, but generally there are a couple lawyers, a client or two, a judge, a court reporter, a bailiff, and then any random members of the public who wander in to the courtroom. Of course if you are talking about presenting evidence in some other context, like an administrative hearing, the answer is quite different.Attending court: How do you prepare to give evidence and from whom can you seek advice? ?
