So I received a "subpoena" to be a witness in a criminal trial (in Calgary), for obvious reasons that's all the info I am going to give. Has anyone on CP ever been a witness before (or maybe one of the many lawyers can answer)?

I'm curious how the process goes, do I meet with the prosecutor before the trial to go over some things? Do I have to sit outside the courtroom, or can I sit inside and listen in? Do I have to be present for every day of the trial? Any tips you have for someone who is pretty ignorant to how the whole process works?
