This course is based on Shane Read’s textbook, Winning at Deposition, which won the Association of Continuing Legal Education’s highest award for professional excellence. This energetic, captivating, and interactive program will give you the strategies and skills to immediately elevate your deposition skills. The program is divided into six presentations that are approximately one hour in length. Each lecture has interactive exercises, analysis of video clips that support the teaching points, and engaging visual aids that are memorable.

Program Highlights: (1) Develop a Winning Case Strategy, (2) The Keys to Taking a Successful Deposition, (3) How to Defeat Lying Witnesses and Combative Lawyers, (4) Beat an Expert Witness Every Time, (5) The Ethics of Witness Preparation and Defending the Deposition, and (6) How to Use Depositions Successfully at Trial.

These interactive lectures demonstrate why the conventional wisdom is often wrong and reveals the latest deposition techniques in order to succeed. For example, attorneys will learn how to create a Deposition Guide for any deposition that will ensure that they take a focused deposition that makes a real difference in the outcome of the case. Attorneys will also learn how to phrase a question so that even the most difficult witness cannot avoid answering it. After taking this course, attorneys will no longer be afraid to take an expert witnesses’ deposition but instead, they will have the confidence and tools to defeat any expert.

Skill Level of Participants: This course will benefit new and experienced attorneys alike.

 

This program qualifies for 6.0 MCLE credit hours.
