I thought they were well framed, but every question drew an objection. “How are you employed?” “Objection! Assumes facts.” “Are you employed?” “Objection! Vague.” “Do you have a job?” “Objection! Misleading, confusing, vague and ambiguous.” A bigger man would have let it go, but “Dick,” I asked opposing counsel, “when your parents named you, how did they know?”
Lawyers will be lawyers; we have all played the game. It’s hard to stay awake at a deposition if you don’t lob in an objection now and then. So I’ve done it; I’ve had it done to me. I’ve rejoined with colloquy; I’ve been colloquyed right back in my face. It’s just part of litigation.
