Have you ever left a deposition and felt like you nailed it? Not because you asked every possible question (we all know that never happens, as there is always that one question everyone remembers only after adjournment), but because the look on the deponent’s face after your thorough inquisition was priceless. You wished you had a video of it, right? But you don’t. Why?

The answer lies in the commonly held belief that video should be reserved solely for the “trial depositions” of those who are either too costly to appear at trial or unavailable for trial.
