In an era when most cases settle before trial, taking depositions is a crucial skill that every attorney must master. The Effective Deposition will prepare you to successfully take, defend, and use the deposition to its greatest advantage. Advocates and law students have long relied on The Effective Deposition to get essential know-how for the most critical step in discovery.

Now in its sixth edition, The Effective Deposition is completely rewritten to reflect the latest deposition strategies, technological advances, changes in the laws of evidence and procedure, and the evolving nature of deposition-taking itself. This updated classic is a must for students and practitioners alike.

New to the Sixth Edition:

  • Remote depositions: advantages and disadvantages; a protocol for using them; tips for preparing, taking, and defending them; and the emerging law
  • Options for integrating the latest technology before and during the deposition
  • Latest legal trends and updates to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence
  • End-of-chapter checklists summarizing the essential techniques and strategies of the chapter
  • New chapter on dealing with common witness behaviors (forgetful, know-nothing, evasive, vague, lying, or combative witnesses)
  • New chapter on preliminary matters to cover with the witness
  • Streamlined approach and options for using the Funnel Method to obtain information from the witness
  • Updated examples of deposition questions that implement the techniques and skills
  • Succinct discussion of ethics and privilege in witness preparation
