This program walks newer litigators through the full life cycle of a deposition, from building an effective outline to using exhibits and creating a clean record. We will cover concrete techniques for handling evasive witnesses, responding to difficult opposing counsel, and asking targeted questions that generate strong transcript excerpts for motions, mediation, and trial. Attendees will leave with a practical checklist, question frameworks, and post-depositionroutines they can use immediately in their own cases.
