A deposition can be videotaped. This is usually done when the deponent is very ill and may not be well enough for trial. It can also be done if the deponent will be out-of-town or unavailable during trial. A deposition can be as short as fifteen minutes or a long as a week or more for a heavily involved witness. All depositions are very serious matters. What is said at a deposition is very important. The deponent should listen to the questions carefully and be precise in his or her answers.
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).
