Title: Legal Video Deposition in Phoenix


1
Good Reasons to Videotape a Discovery Deposition
2
  • Once a little used tool that was employed only
    when absolutely necessary, the presentation of
    trial evidence by video deposition in Phoenix has
    become routine in civil trials across the
    country, do you know why?
  • Here are the good reasons to videotape a
    discovery deposition,
  • Convenience
  • Flexibility
  • Civilizing Rambo
  • Witness Potentially Unavailable for Trial

3
Convenience
  • With the increasingly crowded dockets seen in
    most jurisdictions, it is difficult to be able to
    tell expert witness exactly when their testimony
    will be needed, resulting in the expert waiting
    for hours in the courthouse.
  • The video deposition provides scheduling
    certainty to the witness.

4
Flexibility
  • Having one or more witnesses testify by video
    provides trial counsel with added flexibility in
    presenting evidence. Knowing that certain
    witnesses are in the cam gives counsel a degree
    of latitude in structuring proof and dealing with
    unexpected scheduling problems.
  • weak spots in the testimony.

A video deposition can provide protection against
these surprises, as counsel has plenty of time
before trial to decide how to deal with any weak
spots in the testimony.

Civilizing Rambo
  • Whether taking or defending a deposition, if you
    know that your opposing counsel is likely to
    indulge in inappropriate Rambo like behavior,
    it may make sense to videotape the deposition, as
    this tend to have a remarkably civilizing effect
    on opposing counsel.

6
Witness Potentially Unavailable for Trial
  • Sometimes, the witness may be outside the
    jurisdiction of the trial court, or the witnesss
    trial availability may be uncertain because of
    health considerations, videotaping the discovery
    deposition can be a shrewd precaution.
  • On the other hand, if the witness is not likely
    to be helpful to your clients case, deposition
    may be doing your opponent a favor.
