| As a new benefit of membership, each week the Section will post one short video tip from judges and experienced litigators. This month we have posted four videos at once for you to preview what is coming. Week 1 - H. Thomas Wells, Jr. - Preparing for a deposition
Tommy’s advice on counseling the witness to listen to the question, understand the question and to think about your answer gives you the time necessary to think about the privilege and assert it when necessary. Week 2 - Barbara Dawson - Defending Depositions
Barb’s advice to you to “know the subject matter very well” and make sure the witness “has a sense of how the process will work” is especially important when you have to assert a privilege during a deposition. Week 3 - Jon W. Green - Who to Depose
Jon’s advice on who to depose should start your process of whether that person is covered by the privilege. Week 4 - Dinita L. James - The Complete Deposition
You cannot take or defend a “Complete Deposition” until you know how to assert or challenge a privilege issue. |
