Good News or Bad News?
The new Audio-Visual Deposition Rule of Civil Procedure went into effect in
2017.
Presentations from experienced counsel will look at how the changes allow
audio-visual depositions as a matter of right, which makes Massachusetts
practice consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and that of other
jurisdictions.
The panel will discuss the issues and use of depositions and audio-visual
depositions from the beginning of discovery to their use in trial. The panel
will highlight:
- The new requirements
- Best practices
- Traps for the unwary
The program will include commentary from the bench on preparation, possible
uses and preferences in the use of audio-visual depositions. In addition, the
panel will include a videographer who will address practical questions
concerning audio-visual depositions.
Join the Mass Bar Association and co-sponsors
the Massachusetts Defense Lawyers Association
and Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys for this timely and important
update.
Members of MassDLA and MATA may attend the program for $80. Please contact
