Deposition

A deposition is testimony taken under oath, in an area outside of the courtroom. The testimony is designed to be used at a later date, and serves the purpose of providing all parties with information in the discovery process. The information can be used by all parties in the trial. During a deposition, a witness will be asked questions regarding the incident and will give answers that can be used later. A witness can still perjur himself during a deposition, because the testimony is taken under oath. Typically, during a deposition, someone is there to transcribe or record what is being said so that no conflicts or disputes arise later about the testimony being given. There are typically only two types of objections allowed during a deposition - objection to the form of a question and to assert a privilege.
