Episode Details

Did you know your court reporter's machine keeps track of the total elapsed time of the examination while the deposition is in progress? Right down to the second? And that the reporter can easily share that elapsed time with you as the deposition progresses? Did you also know that you can ask the reporter to add - on the transcript itself - the exact time (also down to the second) of each question you asked, and of each answer given by the deponent? These two functions, called the "timekeeping wizard" and "time code," are worth their weight in gold. Jim Garrity explains how they work, and how to use them to your advantage.
