LAW 906LEC - Taking and Defending Depositions

This will be a practical one credit course in both the mechanics and strategies of taking and defending depositions in state and federal courts. After reviewing the rules for conducting depositions and the mechanics of preparing witnesses, making objections, marking exhibits and interacting with the court reporter, each member of the class will have the opportunity to conduct and defend a deposition. Student performances will be critiqued and will, along with classroom participation, form the basis for grading. Students enrolling in this class may not also enroll in Professor Altreuter’s class (L947).
