witness list
Courtroom testimony schedule
A witness list is a formal document identifying people who will testify in a legal proceeding.
Courts typically require parties to exchange witness lists before trial, disclosing who they plan to call: The defense submitted its witness list two weeks before the hearing.
The list helps opposing counsel prepare for cross-examination and prevents surprise testimony.
