Next to a tax audit, one of the most daunting events in life has to be a
legal deposition. The nervousness you felt when you learned you were to
be called to testify, turns to absolute panic when you walk into a room
full of lawyers, court stenographers, and opponents in the legal
proceedings. You know that anything and everything you say will be
examined under a microscope and that any inconsistencies or
misstatements may lead to costly consequencies. Yes, there is a reason
for that quiver in your voice. Finally, there is some help. Fred
Friedberg, a noted lawyer in a corporate practice, offers an easy to
read, concise, and helpful handbook for those who are facing a legal
deposition. It takes them step by step through the process, from the
basic ground rules to the follow-up. It covers the many dos and don'ts
in plain language, and with the aid of humor explores the pitfalls and
mistakes that you will face and how to avoid them. When you are finished
reading it you will be able to face the process with the confidence that
comes from understanding. In our litigious society, thousands of people
face this ordeal every year. This book is designed for them. Every law
firm in the country should have copies available for their clients.
