Legal Videos
The impact of Legal Deposition Video is unmistakable. Video depositions are far more likely to keep a jury's attention than a traditional stenographer’s transcript.
Video depositions provide many benefits, including:
- A legal record to verify a stenographer’s transcript and ensure accuracy.
- Deposing important witnesses who will not be available for trial.
- A valuable tool for reference when considering whether to use particular witnesses at trial, and when preparing for the examination of those witnesses.
- Deposition video can provide better insight into deposition testimony for expert consultants and legal staff reviewing it, as they prepare to go to trial.
- A legal videographer can have a calming effect. People are on better behavior when a videographer is recording the deposition, and this can mean a more productive and efficient process.
- A common use of deposition video in court is to impeach a witness if they change their testimony at trial. Seeing them make a different statement on video than what was said in court has much more impact than merely reading back the transcript.
