Trial Advocacy College: Depositions

About the Program:

Taking and defending depositions are critical skills for every trial lawyer. AAJ Education’s Depositions College combines lectures, demonstrations, and small-group, interactive workshops led by experienced faculty to give you practical, proven techniques that you can apply immediately to your practice. You’ll receive individual attention and skill critique in a supportive, responsive environment with colleagues at a similar skill and practice level.

You’ll learn:

• How to create an effective discovery plan
• Essential deposition techniques including sequencing, exhaustion, and boxing-in
• How to establish rules and utilize the Miller Mousetrap method
• Strategies for dealing with a difficult attorney
• How to successfully depose the defense expert witness, and more

AAJ’s caucuses will be hosting a joint membership drive on April 24^th, the day before the program begins. Membership drives are a great way to connect with your caucus colleagues and help AAJ grow. Travel reimbursement is available for members who attend the entire drive. For more information, email jennifer.rafter@justice.org.
