What credentials do you need to be an expert witness in a court trial?
Typically, to be an expert witness in a court trial, you would need relevant education, training, and experience in the particular field in which you are testifying. Depending on the jurisdiction, you may also need to demonstrate your expertise through certifications, licenses, or publications. It's important to be prepared to exhibit your qualifications and expertise to the court.
When you are making a statement in the court can the laywer interupte you?
Yes, but the judge may direct the lawyer to stop and let the witness finish. If you are on cross examination, the lawyer that represents you or called you as a witness will probably jump up and ask the judge to direct the lawyer to let you finish, unless you are rambling or need to be interrupted.

How long after being a lawyer can you be a judge?
Depends upon the court and the jurisdiction.You do not need to be a lawyer at all to be appointed to the US Supreme Court (although that is the only US court this is true of).In England, you need to be a lawyer for 10 years before you can become a recorder, which is the lowest level of open court judge.
Do you have to provide a statement to the Police before going to court as witness and do you need to give personal information about yourself in court?
If you are a witness for the defense, then no, you don't have to talk to the Police. If you are a witness for the prosecution, then the DA would probably have already talked to you regarding your testimony before it was decided that you would be a witness.As far as personal information, yes, you would give your name, address, etc. And, you can be asked anything while testifying...doesn't necessarily mean the judge will allow it to be answered, especially if there is a reasonable objection from the opposing side.Talk to the DA or the attorney (depending which you are testifying for) and ask what you can be expected to be asked. They will inform you legally.Another view: I am in general agreement with the above answer - EXCEPT - I have never been involved in a court session in which a civilian witness was questioned in open court about their personal data (i.e.: address, phone number, etc), other than identifying themselves by name. However - in the case of "expert" witnesses, this does not hold true.
Do you need a lawyer to fight a judgment in court?
