I may, in the near future, be the primary witness for a grand jury trial of a s*x abuse case. I'll probably have to miss some class, and I'll need to explain this to my professors. I don't want to tell them the whole story, but I also don't want to just say "I have to go to court" because they might think that I have done something wrong.
Is there some sort of legal terminology I should use, or a polite way to put it, or should I just say that I'm a witness in a criminal case?
Thanks so much!
