The Art Of The Deposition

The Rutter Group Invites Andrew H. Friedman To Speak About “The Art Of The Deposition”

On September 16, 2022, The Rutter Group will feature Andrew H. Friedman in a webinar entitled “The Art of the Deposition Winning the Trial Before Trial.” The Rutter Group describes the webinar as:

Contrary to popular opinion, trials generally turn not on what happens in the courtroom but on which party elicits the most useful deposition testimony. Formulating clear, probing deposition questions and genuinely listening to the deponent’s answers are critical to eliciting testimony that can be used later, sometimes much later, to achieve a successful outcome in the case. Presented by experienced trial counsel from both the plaintiff’s and the defendant’s side of the aisle, this “how to” program includes an actual mock deposition demonstration highlighting the techniques discussed during the program. Invaluable for both experienced and novice attorneys alike, this program will equip you with new ideas and helpful strategies for taking superior depositions and will give you the confidence in knowing you can!

Speaking with Mr. Friedman will be one of his former colleagues, Michael D. Stein of Tisdale & Nicholson, LLP. Mr. Stein is widely known for obtaining one of the largest jury verdicts in San Bernardino Superior Court history, $9.9 million dollars, on behalf of a young child severely shaken by a former daycare center operator. The case and verdict were featured in the National Law Journal, Lawyers Weekly U.S.A., and The Los Angeles Daily Journal and prompted the consideration of legislation to require California private daycare centers to maintain liability insurance.

Previously, Mr. Friedman and Mr. Stein worked together at Bryan Cave LLP (now known as Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP).
