The Depositions course is designed to familiarize adjusters and litigators with important aspects of preparing to give depositions. The module is presented by attorneys David Groth and Jim Tarman from the international law firm Cozen O’Connor. Commentary is provided by Don Elliot, a claims manager from an insurance carrier.
No aspect of modern civil litigation is more important to the outcome of a case than oral deposition. Whether a witness makes a good impression or poor impression very much depends upon the quality of the preparation. Preparation requires a strong effort by counsel and the witness. The Depositions course details the preparation process that a witness and his or her attorney should go through to properly prepare the witness to give a quality deposition.
After completing the course, the attendee will be able to explain or describe how long a witness should plan to prepare for their deposition; which documents the witness should bring to a depositions; which documents a witness should review; which things a witness shouldn’t bring; how a witness should dress; what the lawyer’s role is in the preparation process; what the lawyer’s role is during the actual deposition; how a good witness and her lawyer should respond to a hostile lawyer; qualities in a witness that convey truthfulness; qualities in a witness that connote dishonesty; and the importance of truthfulness along with a host of other helpful tips.
The course is designed for practitioners and insurance professionals working in the area of insurance coverage disputes and litigation.
