[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) "Deposition is the testimony of a witness taken upon interrogatories, not in open court, but in pursuance of a commission to take testimony issued by a court, or under a general law on the subject, and reduced to writing and duly authenticated, and intended to be used upon the trial of an action in court. Depositions of the expert under oath may be taken by opposing counsel during either the discovery phase of the engagement, or before or after the trial begins.

Deposition (law) In law, a deposition is the act or fact of taking sworn testimony of a witness outside of court, in certain well-defined circumstances. Usually, the deponent will still be instructed to answer the question, but between the time of the deposition and the time of trial, a judge may be asked to rule on objections made during the deposition. Another benefit of deposition is to preserve a witness's recollection while it is still fresh, though the trial may still be some time off. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/de/Depose.html   (517 words)

Why Double the Deposition Work? — Clifford Law Offices The federal rules recognize a distinction based on the manner in which the depositions are taken, but there is not a difference in their intended use and any deposition may be used for any purpose permissible under the rules. What this means is that a discovery deposition is taken; and then if it is determined later that the witness is necessary at trial, an evidence deposition is taken because that is the only way that the testimony can be preserved at trial. I recently attended a deposition where a real-time computer display was used to attempt to impeach a discovery deposition of the witness. www.cliffordlaw.com /news/attorneys-articles/archive/why-double-the-deposition-work   (981 words)

Law.com - Deposition of Experts Ordered in Pa. Tortious Interference Case Haines said that while parties to commercial litigation often agree to pre-trial depositions of adverse expert witnesses, the practice is practically unheard of in other areas of civil litigation, such as the personal injury arena. When it was suggested that the practice of pre-trial depositions of adverse witnesses be somehow incorporated into the Commerce Court's guidelines, he objected. Haines said he believed in the late 1990s -- and still does -- that the biggest problem with a rule providing for pre-trial adverse witness depositions is the economic impediment it imposes on individual plaintiffs, such as those in most personal injury cases, but also in a number of commercial disputes. www.law.com /jsp/article.jsp?id=1145964622397   (964 words)
