In the wake of the COVID-19 we find ourselves embracing remote depositions as the new norm. While there are unique challenges to taking or defending depositions remotely, the benefits outweigh the limitations for those who are knowledgeable and prepared.  Many court reporting companies have developed audio-visual deposition technologies and understanding generally how this works will enable you to take a far more effective deposition remotely.

This presentation provides an overview of the practical and legal aspects of remote depositions and is designed to prepare attorneys and witnesses for the process. The presenters will cover a range of topics ranging from eliminating the potential for gamesmanship to preparing and using exhibits during the deposition.  A well-prepared attorney who is familiar with the mechanics of conducting a remote deposition can increase the ability to elicit effective testimony, protect the record and prevent unnecessary delays, saving time and money.

Speakers: Michelle Galloway, Kevin Jamison, Ryan Landis, and Mary McKelvey
