Author Lawrence N. Gray, Esq.
Every witness has a legal duty to give evidence.
If the witness has not been properly counseled regarding this duty or if his or her rights or privileges have been improperly or untimely asserted, serious adverse consequences may occur. Rights may be inadvertently waived, or worse, perjury and contempt indictments may be issued. With rare exception, evidentiary privileges pertain to all legal proceedings. Therefore, this book is designed as much for negligence, commercial and estates practitioners as it is for prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys. This book expands and updates the coverage of the extremely well received Grand Jury in New York .
