Four apprentices will be reporters of record at an annual deposition skills workshop in San Francisco. Four rounds of mock depositions will take place concurrently in four conference rooms over two days. In pretrial Zooms, you will meet the team and practice stating your reporter's admonition, swearing in witnesses, speaking up for the record, reading back, and how to produce rough drafts. See "Why join my program"? below for more details.
