The questions and your answers will be taken down by an official court reporter. After the deposition, the reporter will reduce the testimony to a written transcript and it will become a permanent record in your case. If your attorney tells you that your deposition will be video taped, there will also be a camera recording the proceeding. If it will be taped, you should not wear white clothes, as they tend to not photograph well. You should remember that usually the first opportunity that the opposing attorney has to see you comes at the time of the giving of your deposition.
First impressions are important.
You should strive to make a good impression upon the opposing lawyer and his client, and you should appear at the deposition dressed as you would expect to dress if you were actually going to court to appear before the judge or jury. You should dress conservatively, i.e., customary street clothing. You should avoid extreme styles of clothing, etc. Small children who are not a party to the lawsuit should not be brought to the deposition unless requested to do so by your attorney. Treat all persons in the deposition room with respect.
