Despite all the uncertainty of the last two years, one thing is for sure: remote testimony is here to stay. In addition to discussing the pitfalls inherent in remote testimony, this program examines the strategy underlying seeking and using remote testimony to your advantage in your cases. We also explore the recent rules changes relevant to the virtual world and how they affect your practice. The panel offers dos and don’ts for remote trial practice based on their wealth of experience taking and defending remote lay and expert witness depositions, offering direct and cross examination testimony at remote trials, and using exhibits effectively.
