Teleconference Depositions Corona
In Corona, it is common for depositions to be held via teleconference. Busy schedules and busy attorneys often create scheduling issues that can best be solved by a teleconference. Although the initial logistical planning is a bit more complicated, the deposition itself is almost exactly the same as a face-to-face meeting.
Corona Court Reporting Services is a full service court reporting agency that is pleased to work with you, setting up those logistical details. Our free concierge service is perfect for setting up teleconference depositions, because we will make the arrangements for those who require transportation or hotel accommodations in order to be present for the conference call.
What is Expected at a Teleconference Deposition?
The expectations of participants in a teleconference deposition are identical to the expectations of participants at a regular deposition. The court reporter is responsible for recording everything that happens during the conference call, from introductions to goodbyes. Witnesses who are testifying are sworn in and testify under oath. Although the proceedings are happening away from a single, central location, the process is identical and 100% reported.
There are a few things that all participants should keep in mind in order to make sure that the Corona Teleconference deposition is properly recorded. These include:
1. Do not create background noise and join the conference call from a silent room, if possible. Moving papers around on your desk can be quite distracting for the other participants and can interfere with the court reporter's ability to hear what is being said by other participants in the Corona teleconference deposition.
2. If possible, use a handset on your phone and not the speaker phone. The exception to this is if you are not the only person participating in the teleconference deposition form your Corona location.
3. If you use a proper name, street or city name or anything else that might be difficult to spell, take the court reporter into consideration and spell the words for the reporter to help guarantee accurate reporting of the deposition.
4. Never talk when someone else is talking. Although this is common sense and just good manners, many of our Corona court reporters tell us that their most commonly experienced problem is having to ask people to repeat themselves because others were trying to talk at the same time.
