Episode 118 -The (Relatively) Low Bar for Limiting the Non-Judicial Use of Deposition Transcripts & Recordings

In this episode, Jim Garrity discusses the “good cause” standard for seeking a protective order limiting the use of deposition transcripts and recordings beyond the pending case. Some judges continue to misapply the applicable standard for such protective orders. Garrity talks about one such ruling, just issued, that once again applied an outdated and legally erroneous standard. Given the ease with which deposition transcripts and recordings can be instantly posted online - and in light of the fact that many parties and foes do exactly that - Garrity argues that you should actively and routinely consider the use of a protective order to limit the non-judicial circulation and use of deposition testimony.SHOW NOTESAFT Michigan v.
