The Nuts and Bolts of Deposition Practice
July 2011
The Nuts and Bolts of Deposition Practice presented by National Speaker Larry J. Cohen
This is a “basic skills” course, designed to train both new lawyers and lawyers new to litigation the skills necessary to take effective depositions. The program will address the deposition practice generally, though it will focus to some extent on the special issues presented when deposing parties and lay witnesses in particular, with some comments about expert witnesses. The presentation will include the issues involved in selecting witnesses for deposition, file review and other preparatory activities, examination strategies and tactics, working with court reporters, examining questions, dealing with objections and post-deposition discovery. There will be both live and videotaped demonstration of deposition techniques.
MATERIALS INCLUDE:
- An overview of discussions about deposition practices
- Checklists for preparing for and taking depositions of parties, lay witnesses and experts
- Guidelines for dealing with objections at depositions
- Suggestions for working with court reporters
- Information about deposition software and other technology
- A bibliography of reference and practice resources.
This program should be of greatest interest to civil litigation practitioners, and to criminal litigation practitioners to the extent of their limited involvement in depositions in their cases.
