Register before it sells out!
Every attorney should guard against a poorly taken, ill-prepared, or unnecessary deposition.
The art of marshalling helpful testimony from parties and witnesses unwilling to help - or neutralizing harmful testimony from those wanting to harm - calls for critical skills beyond the common training of most lawyers. Conducting a quality deposition is an elusive act. Conceiving and forming questions, hearing nuanced answers, dueling psychologically with the deponent and the adversary - all in an atmosphere where tensions are high - require a facility learned only by insightful exploration of the deposition taking process. Well-taken depositions settle cases, or if necessary, substantially improve the chance of winning at trial.
Mastering the art and craft of conducting depositions is critical for any lawyer interested in solving problems through litigation. During this seminar, you’ll learn proven techniques that will help you conduct depositions more effectively, and find out how to use those depositions to your tactical advantage at trial. Reap the benefits at your very next deposition!
