Witness Prep

Show your witness the hard documents before opposing counsel does.

Quickly show the witness every document without the witness having to download custom software on their computer. Show two documents side by side.

Prep time should go to the case, not to the witness struggling with screen-sharing software.

How prep works

Set it up the same way you’ll run the deposition

  1. 01

    Build a prep folder

    Put in only the documents you want the witness to see. They can’t browse the rest of the case.

  2. 02

    Walk through the documents

    Invite the witness and show the documents one at a time. Let them page through, annotate and get used to the witness view.

  3. 03

    Rehearse if you want to

    For a full run-through, hold the session as a mock deposition with exhibit stamps and a questioning attorney. Mock depositions don’t use a credit.

  4. 04

    Go again if you need to

    The folder stays in the case, so a second session picks up where the first one ended.

Worth knowing

What prep catches early

Remote witnesses

Test the connection, the browser and the iPad during prep, not at 9 a.m. on the day of the deposition.

A document the witness has never seen

Walk through it with them in prep so the first time isn’t on the record.
