Introduction and Welcome to the Podcast!

What this episode covers

The 10,000 Depositions Later Podcast is specifically designed for practicing litigators in trial lawyers who are looking to vastly improve their skills, strategies and tactics in taking, and defending, pretrial depositions. The podcast is hosted by Jim Garrity, the author of the highly successful, best-selling series of books by the same name. Jim has now taken and defended more than 20,000 depositions in his career, and he still is an active, and high-volume, first-chair trial lawyer. He practices in multiple jurisdictions, and in both state and federal court. As Jim says in his books, "Depositions are the new trial. Fewer than 1% of all federal lawsuits now and with a trial. The same is true of state-court cases. So your case will be won or lost on deposition testimony, not trial testimony. To win cases, whether you represent plaintiffs or defendants, you must have superior skills in taking and defending depositions. I can get you there." We hope you enjoy the podcast. Please enjoy it, give us five stars in the ratings, leave a great review, and please recommend it to your friends and colleagues. We would genuinely appreciate it.
