A quick definition of horseshedding:

Term: Horseshedding

Definition: Horseshedding is when someone teaches a witness how to answer questions in a way that helps their case. It's like giving them a script to follow. This is not allowed in court because it's not fair to the other side. It's also called woodshedding. The opposite of horseshedding is sandpapering, which is when someone tries to make a witness look bad by asking tricky questions.

A more thorough explanation:

Horseshedding: The act of instructing a witness, especially a client, on how to respond to questions during testimony in a way that benefits one's case. This is also known as woodshedding. It is different from sandpapering.

  • A lawyer tells their client what to say and how to say it during a trial to make their case stronger. This is an example of horseshedding.
  • During a deposition, a witness is coached on how to answer questions in a way that supports the lawyer's argument. This is also an example of horseshedding.

These examples illustrate how horseshedding is a form of coaching or instructing a witness to give testimony that supports one's case. It is important to note that this practice is not ethical and can lead to legal consequences for the lawyer and their client.
