Depositions in civil litigation serve multiple purposes. Simply gathering information would certainly be one of them. Creating a cross-examination script for trial, or laying the foundation for traps to spring would be others. Also: extracting the admissions for a winning summary judgment motion, shredding the opposing expert to enhance the settlement value of the case for one’s client and perhaps even forcing one’s client to acknowledge the warts in one’s own case. And if one thousand litigators were polled, one would probably hear as many different opinions on the various purposes of depositions and the relative importance of those purposes.
But one thing that all litigators should agree on is that real-time transcription and deposition transcript management applications can be significant tools for accomplishing whatever goals one has in a given deposition. One such product (and perhaps the most widely used product) is LiveNote, which can be a useful tool during the deposition, immediately after the deposition, in motions practice and at trial.
