How to Prepare for a Deposition

Depositions take place before trial. During a deposition, a lawyer asks a witness questions, and the witness answers under oath. The purpose of a deposition is to uncover what the witness knows and to get their testimony on the record in case they cannot attend trial. Today, depositions are usually videotaped or the questions and answers are taken down by a court reporter.

Try to schedule a meeting with your lawyer close to your deposition date.  If you don’t have a lawyer, then you can still prepare for your deposition by following the remaining tips.Refresh your recollection of the incident.

 You should review any paperwork that relates to the lawsuit. If you wrote down your impressions soon after the incident, then read your notes as well.  You can also review your answers to any interrogatories or requests for admissions that you answered. Take out that paperwork and see how you answered. Your answers in your deposition need to be consistent with your answers in those documents. Remember, however, that you need to testify based on your own recollection. Don’t read someone else’s testimony of the event. For example, you probably shouldn’t review a police report, since those usually contain other witness’s statements.
