Rarely a month goes by in which legal industry publications don’t report on shocking deposition conduct by fellow members of the bar. Inevitably, attorney misconduct invites a sanctions motion, which often results in an order censuring the offending attorney.
Media outlets recently reported on a case involving a plaintiff’s lawyer who not only interrupted a deposition more than 90 times, but baselessly accused defense counsel of engaging in a racist attack against the deponent. The court granted defense counsel’s motion for sanctions and ordered plaintiff’s counsel to pay $4,700 as a sanction. Scott-Iverson, v. Independent Health Association, No. 13-CV-451V(F), 2017 WL 35453 (W.D.N.Y., Jan. 04, 2017).
