4 Easy Ways to Ensure a Quality Deposition
Speak Clearly
During a deposition or court proceeding, avoid unnecessary “hos and hums” and be confident your delivery. Vocal fillers can bog down a transcript. Speak clearly so your reporter can keep a clean transcript, thus minimizing later editing time.
Distribute a list of key words/phrases
Provide your team a glossary of phonetically spelled words and phrases that may cause spelling and/or pronunciation problems. This will help your team speak clearly, but also help your court reporter to keep an accurate record, which will ultimately minimize editing and other questions following the deposition.
Plan ahead
Do what you can to book every professional, conference space, and equipment you need ahead of time. Planning with ample time will help you avoid delays and increased costs, which can not only ruin your budget, but ruin the momentum of your case. If a change needs to be made last minute, try to make that change 48 hours prior to your deposition.
Dress appropriately
When you look good, you feel good. Dressing for success can truly make a difference in how you present your case. For your deposition, always dress professionally. This could mean a conservative dress, blouse, skirt, slacks, or suit.
