Effective Depositions covers the law of depositions and related discovery issues and gives you clear, thorough understanding of the process and its practical challenges and pitfalls so that you -- as either taker or defender -- can make the best use of the opportunities the process offers. Updated and expanded, the book is designed to prepare you for and guide you through the legal and practical problems and issues you will encounter with each deposition.
This second edition covers timely subjects such as realtime transcription, video depositions, the Fifth Amendment on civil depositions, issues for women at depositions, and handling deposition discovery disputes. The appendices offer quick, practical guides for handling skills, such as asking questions about a conversation for purposes of discovery, making objections, and using depositions at trial. The book contains numerous case studies and clearly-explained examples, in addition to models, sample forms and checklists.
