What Is a Deposition?

In almost every civil lawsuit, depositions play a key role in uncovering facts, shaping strategy, and sometimes even driving a case toward settlement. But what actually happens during a deposition—and why are they so important?

In this video, Andrew Creal breaks down:

• What a deposition is and how it compares to courtroom testimony.
• Why in-person depositions are often more effective than remote ones.
• How depositions help assess credibility and uncover inconsistencies.
• How sworn testimony can be used later at trial to challenge credibility.
