Deposition Bullies: Tips for Spotting Them and Stopping Them
Presented by the American Bar Association
This webinar will teach you how to spot deposition bullies and how to stop them before they cause you or your client harm. Whether you're taking or defending your first or your ninety-first deposition, antics from opposing counsel, co-counsel and even witnesses can sometimes knock you off your game. Anticipating, recognizing and deflecting common bullying tactics are vital skills for litigators responsible for developing a clean record and protecting their clients' interests during depositions. Join our panel of deposition warriors to hear their war stories and get practical guidance grounded in the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct regarding diligence (Rule 1.3), fairness (Rule. 3.4), communications with opposing counsel and third parties (Rules 4.1-4.4) and misconduct (Rules 8.3-8.4).
