Episode Details

Join attorneys Adam Carlson, Managing Partner, and Andrew Schwartz, Of Counsel, of Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, as they cover the evolving role of Zoom depositions in modern litigation. This program examine both the efficiencies they offer and the challenges they present.

Remote depositions have become a permanent feature of civil practice, allowing attorneys to save time and cost by eliminating travel, making it easier to depose out-of-state witnesses, and streamlining the management of exhibits and scheduling. When used effectively, virtual platforms can increase efficiency and accessibility while allowing cases to move forward more quickly.

At the same time, Zoom depositions raise important questions about fairness, credibility, and the integrity of the record. Concerns include the difficulty of assessing witness demeanor through a screen, the potential for off-camera coaching or use of notes, technological disruptions, and unresolved procedural and evidentiary issues that courts and practitioners are still working through. This program will bring together experienced litigators to discuss the practical benefits, ethical considerations, and emerging best practices for conducting and defending depositions in the virtual era.
