Depositions
Transcripts and Use
Exhibits are marked sequentially, shown to the deponent, and attached to the transcript. Numbering may continue across depositions in a case or restart, depending on the parties' agreement.
Remote depositions require electronic exhibit handling.
Alternative Names:
Depo Exhibit, Exhibit (Deposition)
Why it Matters?
Continuous numbering across all depositions in a matter avoids the confusion of multiple documents bearing the same exhibit number, and agreeing on that convention early is worth the brief conversation. Remote depositions require an exhibit delivery mechanism agreed in advance, since sharing documents mid-deposition without a protocol wastes time and creates disputes about what the witness actually saw.
