Best Answer

The rules of court and perhaps the laws of the state in which the lawsuit is filed govern; howver generally in addition to the witness, any party to the action and his or her lawyer are the ones having a "right" to be present. Normally, any other person, especially other witnesses are excluded but, if the parties agree, they may allow anyone else to attend.

What is a Depositions Lawyer?

A depositions lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in depositions. They have an understanding of what information should be contained in a deposition in order to win a court case for their plaintiff or defendant. They also understand everything that needs to take place in order for the deposition to be used legally in a court of law. A deposition is when a witness makes an oral statement outside of court. The statement is then written or typed so that it can be used as evidence in a court of law. In some territories of the United States, a deposition may also be considered an examination before trial. The federal courts and most US states use the term deposition because their are some circumstances in which a deposition may be made during a trial. As an example, if the plaintiff is dying from a terminal illness, this may be necessary in order for the trial to move forward. The individual who gives the deposition is referred to as the deponent. If the deponent is represented by a different lawyer, they must be present, or at least notified. If the deponent is a third party to the offense in question, than a subpoena is required in order to question them if they are reluctant to testify. To ensure that the information is accurate, a court reporter must be present to transcribe the deposition. In some cases, a video or audio recording may also be used. Usually, the deposition takes place at the court reporter's office or the depositions lawyer's office, but it can also occur at the witness's home as well. Before the deposition begins, the witness takes the same oath that they would take in a court of law. Everything that is said during the deposition is then recorded verbatim by the court reporter in the same way that it would be recorded in court. A direct examination is performed first. This is when the attorney who has requested the deposition begins examining the witness. Afterward, any other lawyers present may cross-examine the witness. The original attorney can follow this up with more questions, known as a re-direct. The second attorney may then follow this up again, known as a re-cross. During the deposition, one lawyer may object to a question asked by the other lawyer. This may be done to assert a privilege or to ask the lawyer to rephrase the question.
