This is a comprehensive continuing legal education program designed exclusively for personal injury practitioners seeking to elevate their deposition skills and maximize client outcomes. Presented in six in-depth modules, this CLE covers everything from deposition fundamentals and strategic goals to advanced preparation checklists, client preparation techniques, and proven methods for systematically dismantling defense expert and IME physician testimony.
Attendees will learn the five-phase attack framework for deposing defense experts, the three-step commit-credit-confront impeachment sequence for use at trial, strategies for unlocking the full power of corporate Rule 30(b)(6) depositions, and the six most costly mistakes plaintiff attorneys make — along with how to avoid them. Grounded in practical, courtroom-tested technique and buttressed by applicable federal rules and ethics guidance under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, this program equips PI attorneys with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to turn the deposition room into their single most powerful settlement and trial weapon.
