Featuring Todd S. Winegar
Because most cases settle, 95% of the time your deposition or interview IS trial. Your success as an attorney usually depends on getting “facts” by asking the right questions, in the right way, in the right order. Learn effective deposition and questioning techniques by watching world-class examples, including:
- Brick by brick
- Alone, each piece of evidence is weak or meaningless
- Together, they form a solid wall of evidence
- The art of the question—the 12 rules
- The five types of questions—and when to use each
- The “Room Method” of deposing and interviewing: “That’s the best disposition I’ve ever seen taken.”
- Asking the important “coulda, woulda, shoulda” questions
- Deposition by analogy—get the witness to tell you what he’s just denied knowing
- Detecting the lying witness
- Can you spot the liar? Understand the indications of a liar, then watch an actual experiment and vote—who’s lying, who’s telling the truth?
- Dealing with the liar in deposition or on cross-examination
