At a deposition, a person appears at a specified time and place and gives sworn testimony -- under oath, usually with a court reporter present so that a record is made. Depositions typically occur during the discovery phase of a lawsuit (after filing of a lawsuit, but before trial or settlement). Through the use of a subpoena, a person can be compelled to attend the deposition. Similar to a trial, a lawyer will ask questions to the person being deposed (deponent).
