Taking an effective deposition takes practice, it takes skill. To do it correctly and ensure the best outcome, one shouldn’t do it without one key component: preparation. That preparation requires commitment to honing the skills needed to gather facts and lock down testimony to help prevent surprises at trial. FJA’s Discovery & Deposition College is a two-part series based on an actual case designed to help you better prepare your client’s case. Be sure to save your seat as this program wraps up with its in-person seminar being held in conjunction with the 2026 Christian D. Searcy Voir Dire and Al J. Cone Trial Advocacy Institutes.
