Summary

Most cases are not won or lost at trial. They are won or lost at deposition. Winning at deposition requires careful planning and preparation, beginning with ensuring your client knows the three rules for responding to a question, the one big exception, and how to avoid traps set by the defense.

Greg Kafoury and Jason Kafoury will share strategies developed over decades of trial advocacy to teach you how to prepare for and take depositions that win your case at trial, including the art of preparing great questions, how to question the defense witness, strategies for deposing the defendant, tips for defending a deposition, and how to use video depositions in opening statement and at trial. The presentation will include deposition clips from actual cases.
