Effective depositions
848 pages. Updated by new edition.
So much of winning a case is at the pre-trial stage. This updated 2nd edition of "Effective Depositions" ensures you will go into depositions well prepared whether you are taking a deposition or defending a witness. This extensive title begins by explaining how to procedurally prepare for a deposition, how to secure a witness's attendance, and how to properly prepare a witness (including many special or non-standard situations). It also goes through the actual deposition process before discussing how to manage depositions once they've been taken and how to use them at trial.
