Depositions obtain testimony under oath outside of court in order to establish facts, gauge witness credibility, and help resolve the lawsuit. This class will focus on California state court rules and procedures for noticing a deposition, taking and preserving testimony, and helpful strategies for incorporating the information obtained into use at trial or settlement.
Class covers:
- Requirements and service of notice; travel limits
- Using a deposition subpoena to obtain discovery from a non-party
