An attorney representing a client in a malpractice case attends a deposition. What might occur in this proceeding?
A) A sworn, verbatim record is made by a court reporter.
B) A settlement is made out of court.
C) A legal proceeding presided over by a judge takes place in a courtroom.
D) Damages are awarded to the plaintiff.
Ans: A
A deposition is a formal proceeding in which each attorney has an opportunity to
question a witness outside of court, and a sworn verbatim record is made by a court reporter. A
deposition is not the usual venue for a settlement or the awarding damages. A trial, not a
deposition, is a legal proceeding presided over by a judge that takes place in a courtroom.
