Deposition Law, Strategies, and Techniques

Catalog description

7233. 2 SCH. The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the federal and states rules/law of depositions. In addition to lectures, the course also includes nine simulations in which students depose a witness (people we have recruited and whom we train to be a witness). The course is based on materials from the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. Feedback is given at the time of the deposing. The goal is to equip students with a toolbelt of techniques and strategies for when they will be deposing or assisting in deposing.
