About
Depositions are one of the most valuable discovery tools in family law, providing an opportunity to evaluate witnesses, preserve testimony, gather evidence, and develop trial strategy. This course provides a practical, step-by-step guide to every stage of the deposition process—from scheduling and noticing the deposition through using deposition testimony at trial. Participants will learn how to prepare clients and witnesses, develop effective deposition outlines, organize exhibits, coordinate logistics, conduct productive examinations, respond to objections, preserve the record, and manage post-deposition follow-up. The course also covers common family law deposition topics, Fifth Amendment considerations, deposition subpoenas, non-party depositions, and practical strategies for using deposition testimony during trial. Includes numerous sample forms, templates, checklists, and drafting examples to confidently prepare for and manage depositions from start to finish. __________________________ Want to take it a step further?
