2018 Deposition Workshop

  • 16 Mar 2018
  • 17 Mar 2018
  • University of Richmond School of Law 28 Westhampton Way Richmond, VA 23173

Sponsored by Minnesota Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company ,Planet Depos and RTI.

This is a hands-on, two-day workshop to learn the skills needed to (1) face down a bullying senior plaintiffs’ attorney; (2) handle a lying deponent; (3) pull the information you need out of a reticent deponent; (4) ensure that what you discover in depositions is admissible in court; (5) use the latest in technology to build an air-tight case; (6) depose experts effectively; (7) handle sympathetic or minor deponents; and more!

The second day will be spent in four-person breakouts in which each new attorney will play the parts of deponent, defense attorney, plaintiffs’ attorney, and observer. At each stage of the depositions, senior coach-attorneys will critique performances and suggest approaches to use.

Registration will be limited. Late registrants may come as observers and may be wait-listed as participants.

* 8.5 credit hours have been requested.

* The registration fee is $250 before February 23. After February 23 the fee is $275. Register using the form below and follow up with an online credit payment or mail a check to:
