The deposition process opens the door for potential ethics violations. Structuring your witness preparation to elicit the answers you want without misrepresenting the facts in any way can feel like navigating a minefield.

- Your responsibilities as a lawyer: representing your client without misrepresenting the case
- How to avoid ethical issues when conducting remote depositions
- The fundamentals of ethical witness preparation
- Common but unethical tactics that could expose you to legal repercussions
