Abstract: The structure of a deposition is often portrayed as a funnel, with the top of the funnel representing open-ended questions used for gathering information. The narrow bottom of the funnel represents the effort to lead the witness into making admissions that help the attorney taking the deposition.
Purpose of Deposition Learn facts from the witness and preserve them as testimony. Understand the case better and avoid any unpleasant surprises when the witness takes the stand.
Here's the attendance rule: Parties and their counsel have the right to attend a deposition and others may attend unless the court orders otherwise.
For example, Jill is suing Jack for bruises she sustained when Jack accidentally knocked her down a hill. Jill's attorney sent Jack a notice of deposition to be taken at Jill's attorney's office. Jill's attorney was there to ask questions, and Jack brought his attorney.
Your notice must include the name of the deponent, as well as the date, time, and location of the deposition. If the deponent is an organization, describe what matters you will be discussing, so that the organization may appoint a representative with the most knowledge of those issues.
A notice of deposition must reference the current court case for which the deposition is being requested. Therefore, the notice will typically include a full caption at the top of the notice, which identifies: The parties in the case. The jurisdiction where the case has been filed.
