Deposition Obstruction: Breaking Through

Our courts have carefully designed rules of discovery that guarantee equal access to the facts for everyone. These rules aren't aspirational. They are rules of engagement designed to get to the truth. They recognize the reality of human conflict, and they channel the passions of those conflicts into controlled forums. If these rules are ignored, litigation becomes nothing but an adolescent food fight. This book is a tool to assist practicing attorneys to understand the rules and case law that govern depositions. Understanding these rules will give lawyers the power to stand up to deposition obstruction and discover the truth on behalf of their clients.
