A deposition is a litigation discovery tool that allows attorneys in an active lawsuit to take testimony from someone who has information that may be relevant to the dispute. Usually it is because they actually want to find out what the person knows about the disputed facts. A deposition is also a dry run for testimony at trial; the attorney wants to know not only what the person will say, but how they are going to say it. Another reason to take a deposition—and the one most relevant to today’s deposition tip—is to get one version of the witness’s testimony on record, so that if it changes later (or other evidence suggests that it should change), the earlier version is preserved for comparison at trial.
And keep in mind that all of these answers are considered “testimony” because they are given under oath. At the start of the deposition, the court reporter administers the oath, and the witness swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If that sounds like the same oath that witnesses take when they testify in court, that’s because it is. And it has precisely the same legal significance.
The bottom line is that, whatever time, trouble, money, embarrassment, or aggravation that a witness thought he was avoiding by telling something other than the truth, it is usually multiplied several times once the lie is discovered.
