Agenda:

SEGMENT 1:

George A. Kiser, Partner

HeplerBroom LLC

  1. Don’t try and hit a home run with your deposition.
  2. Depositions serve two purposes:  gathering information that your client needs to know and that you can use to investigate further, and to obtain helpful testimony for trial.  Both are equally important.
  3. The personal knowledge of the witness (or plaintiff) is essential. No guessing, assuming or believing.
  4. Be precise when asking about what really matters.

SEGMENT 2:

Robert S. Ludlum, Partner

Melick & Porter, LLP

  1. Defending the Deposition
  2. Remote depositions – technology and tips
