If you mean rehearse.... I think in some situations it is common to rehearse your testimony. If that is what you mean. The lawyer with help you work through your testimony so that it remains truthful but not misleading and to make it less likely that the other side will object to anything you might say or to make anything you say questionable.
It's illegal to tell you to say things untruthfully. Like your lawyer tells you to say things that are false.

'scat your testimony' ? i assume he wants you to skip testifying .. matters on your case.. maybe he feels there is enough information for a good judgement to be made.. or that your testimony might give the wrong idea .. really matters on the reason your in court..

How do you "scat" testimony?
Is it a typo, or did I miss a day in paralegal school?
