Drafting and Using Outlines While you never want to be tied to your outline, advance preparation allows you the flexibility to move beyond the outline in a deposition. We’ll review several outline templates to identify the styles that will work best in different circumstances.
10:30 a.m. Break
10:45 a.m. Taking and Defending Depositions Whether conducting a discovery deposition, a trial deposition, a hybrid or defending your own witness, the fundamentals are crucial. Beyond those basics, though, Sybil provides tips and tricks to elevate your performance.
Effective Objections When defending a deposition, the objection is your primary tool. This section covers everything – from teaching your witness about depositions to effectively using them to preserve your record.
12:15 p.m. Lunch (on your own)
1:15 p.m. Expert Depositions The expert has likely been deposed before – explore special considerations for expert depositions including how to set up a Daubert motion, your trial cross-examination, or even increase your chances of settlement.
Identifying Your Deposition Style Playing to your own strengths will help you achieve your deposition objectives (and feel comfortable while doing so). Identify your own deposition style by examining a showcase of various, successful models.
2:45 p.m. Break
3:00 p.m. Deposition Technology The court reporter is an officer of the court. Your ethical interaction with the reporter as well as the proper use of technology, including video, Realtime, and electronic exhibits increase your likelihood of a successful deposition.
3:30 p.m. Ethical Pitfalls to Avoid When there is a transcript, there is room for error. This section reviews recent case law providing deposition guidance and offers advice for avoiding ethical missteps.
4:30 p.m. Adjourn

Cf., United States v. Wagoner, 713 F.2d 1371, 1377 (8th Cir.1983) ( “Foundation objections require specificity.”). A specific and focused objection to foundation is necessary to allow the opponent a reasonable opportunity to correct the insufficiency. Cf., People v.

Corp. v. Jorda Enters., 277 F.R.D. 676, 680 (S.D. Fla. 2012) The rule’s purpose is to streamline the discovery process. In particular, the rule serves a unique function in allowing a specialized form of deposition. The rule gives the corporation being deposed more control by allowing it to designate and prepare a witness to testify on the corporation's behalf. 60 ϰϲ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Program Slides Rule 30(b)(6) imposes burdens on both the discovering party and the designating party. The party seeking discovery must describe the matters with reasonable particularity and the responding corporation or entity must produce one or more witnesses who can testify about the corporation's knowledge of the noticed topics. A corporation has an affirmative duty to provide a witness who is able to provide binding answers on behalf of the corporation. Ecclesiastes 9:10-11-12, Inc. v. LMC Holding Co., 497 F.3d 1135, 1147 (10th Cir. 2007). 61 ϰϳ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Deposition Control: Becoming the Authority and Controlling the Conversation The designating party has a duty to designate more than one deponent if necessary to respond to questions on all relevant areas of inquiry listed in the notice or subpoena. Marker v. Union Fidelity Life Ins. Co., 125 F.R.D. 121, 127 (M.D.N.C. 1989) (duty to substitute another witness as a designee once the initial designee's deficiencies become apparent during the deposition). The rule does not expressly or implicitly require the corporation or entity to produce the “person most knowledgeable” for the corporate deposition. Nevertheless, many lawyers issue notices and subpoenas which purport to require the producing party to provide "the most knowledgeable" witness. Not only does the rule not provide for this type of discovery demand, but the request is also fundamentally inconsistent with the purpose and dynamics of the rule. As noted, the witness/designee need not have any personal knowledge, so the "most knowledgeable" designation is illogical. 62 ϰϴ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Program Slides The mere fact that an organization no longer employs a person with knowledge on the specified topics does not relieve the organization of the duty to prepare and produce an appropriate designee. Faced with such a scenario, a corporation with no current knowledgeable employees must prepare its designees by having them review available materials, such as fact witness deposition testimony, exhibits to depositions, documents produced in discovery, materials in former employees’ files and, if necessary, interviews of former employees or others with knowledge. Not only must the designee testify about facts within the corporation's collective knowledge, including the results of an investigation initiated for the purpose of complying with the 30(b)(6) notice, but the designee must also testify about the corporation's position, beliefs and opinions. 63 ϰϵ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Deposition Control: Becoming the Authority and Controlling the Conversation If it becomes apparent during the deposition that the designee is unable to adequately respond to relevant questions on listed subjects, then the responding corporation has a duty to timely designate additional, supplemental witnesses as substitute deponents. When a corporation's designee legitimately lacks the ability to answer relevant questions on listed topics and the corporation cannot better prepare that witness or obtain an adequate substitute, then the "we-don't-know" response can be binding on the corporation and prohibit it from offering evidence at trial on those points. Phrased differently, the lack of knowledge answer is itself an answer which will bind the corporation at trial. 64 ϱϬ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Program Slides Absolute perfection is not required of a 30(b)(6) witness. The mere fact that a designee could not answer every question on a certain topic does not necessarily mean that the corporation failed to comply with its obligation. Costa v. City of Burlington, 254 F.R.D. 187, 191 (D.N.J. 2008). A corporation which expects its designee to be unprepared to testify on any relevant, listed topic at the corporate representative deposition should advise the requesting party of the designee’s limitations before the deposition begins. 65 ϱϭ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Deposition Control: Becoming the Authority and Controlling the Conversation Preparation obligation? To review all matters known or reasonably available to it in preparation for the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition. This interpretation is necessary in order to make the deposition a meaningful one and to prevent the sandbagging of an opponent by conducting a half-hearted inquiry before the deposition but a thorough and vigorous one before the trial. This would totally defeat the purpose of the discovery process. The Court understands that preparing for a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition can be burdensome. However, this is merely the result of the concomitant obligation from the privilege of being able to use the corporate [or other organizational] form in order to conduct business.

Motion to strike? A motion to strike is not necessary or appropriate outside of trial (the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure expressly provide that Fed. R. Evid. 103, requiring a motion to strike, does not apply at a deposition). Thus while you can move to strike as non-responsive if the tactic is working, it is neither necessary nor technically accomplishing anything under the Rules. What if the witness is not prepared? When parties have failed to properly prepare a 30(b)(6) witness, courts have not hesitated to find that ill preparation constitutes “sanctionable conduct under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(d)(1)(A).” Cherrington Asia Ltd., 263 F.R.D. at 661-662; Starlight Intl v. Herlihy, 186 F.R.D. 626, 639 (D. Kan. 1999) (“[i]nadequate preparation of a Rule 30(b)(6) designee can be sanctioned based on the lack of good faith, prejudice to the opposing side, and disruption of the proceedings.”). 68 ϱϰ ϮͬϱͬϮϬϭϵ Program Slides Instructions not to answer? Courts have concluded that a defendant is prohibited from instructing a 30(b)(6) witness not to answer questions pertaining to disputed deposition topics. The only available action is a motion for a protective order under Rule 26(c), a motion to limit the scope of the deposition under Rule 30(d), or a motion to limit the extent of discovery under Rule 26(b)(2)(C).
