Episode 57 - Core Essentials: Preparing Your Clients for Deposition, Part 4

In this fourth installment of Preparing Your Clients for Deposition, Jim Garrity begins sharing critical insights you need to tell your clients about the deposition process: the layout of the room where the deposition will take place, who will be present and where they will be seated, the importance of taking regular breaks to prevent mental exhaustion, and the differences between depositions as seen on TV and depositions in real life. That includes the general obligation to answer every question asked, examination styles (push questions versus pull questions), the reality about the opposing lawyer's role and goal, and the fact that the deposition is not a practice run and may, in fact, be the only time your clients ever tell their story. Lots to cover, and we are just getting started!
