Take the fear and mystery out of your deposition


Nolo's Deposition Handbook is a must-read for anyone taking, defending, or facing a deposition. You'll find all the information and instructions you need, whether or not a lawyer is representing you.


Packed with concrete suggestions and examples, this book explains how to arrange a convenient date, prepare for the deposition, and respond to questions with confidence. Best of all, you'll learn the three "golden rules" for answering questions, and the trick questions lawyers often use to influence testimony.

  • eyewitnesses

  • expert witnesses

  • parties to a lawsuit

  • people who represent themselves in court

  • lawyers, law students, and legal assistants, and

  • anyone participating in a deposition conducted online.


The 9th edition is updated to include information on electronic discovery and the latest statutes, court cases, and federal rules, and provides information on how to set up and conduct a deposition remotely, using a computer.
