Synopsis

Take the fear and mystery out of your deposition

Nolo’s Deposition Handbook is a must-read for anyone taking, defending, or facing a deposition. You’ll find all the information and instructions you need, whether or not a lawyer is representing you.

Packed with concrete suggestions and examples, this book explains how to arrange a convenient date, prepare for the deposition, and respond to questions with confidence. Best of all, you’ll learn the three “golden rules” for answering questions, and the trick questions lawyers often use to influence testimony.

Written in plain English, Nolo’s Deposition Handbook is an excellent resource for:

• eyewitnesses
• expert witnesses
• parties to a lawsuit
• people who represent themselves in court
• lawyers, law students, and legal assistants, and
• anyone involved in a deposition.

The 7th edition is updated to include information on electronic discovery and the latest statutes, court cases, and federal rules.

About this title

Review

"The nation's largest publisher of self-help legal books and software." The Wall Street Journal

"Nolo helps lay people perform legal tasks without the aid--or fees--of lawyers." USA Today

"In the first part, Bergman and Moore provide information primarily for someone who is being deposed, that is, being questioned under oath at a deposition as part of the pre-trial stage of a civil law case. The second part explains how to take a deposition or defend a party or witness on your side who is being deposed. Among the topics are preparing to give deposition testimony, beginning a deposition: the usual admonitions, questions you can refuse to answer, taking a deposition: deposing a hostile witness, and visually recorded depositions."
