Importance of Deposition Summary

We all know that in today's cutthroat environment in order to remain competitive in market, focus is to concentrate on core specialization areas. A service like Deposition Summary requires experience in litigation and strong hold on English writing skills. Also it necessitates good understanding of the facts of the case, issues involved.

Be it a personal injury matter or a medical malpractice case, deposition is an essential tool for discovery because it brings out many hidden facts on the front and helps attorneys to reach out to the basic issues of the case. It is a stage which brings an opportunity to both parties to see the case from something more than mere typewritten papers. A properly recorded deposition will go a long way in bringing the case to the winning decision on behalf of your client.


When depositions run into 100s of pages and a case requires many witnesses to be deposed, it becomes little difficult to keep track of all of them. Instead of getting yourself involved in number of pages and preparing your notes out of that, much preferred choice would be to summarize the deposition.  Deposition Summary  is also an important tool to win your case. It’s a written synopsis of a deposition that condenses the question and answers to a succinctly written, explicable format.


Summarizing deposition in different formats can help attorneys in reaching to the desired key information of the case. Though there is no set rule or law as to the formats of  Deposition Summary  but the standard industry formats are three column, two column formats, and topical summary. Attorneys can put forward their willingness of a customized desired format of the  Deposition Summary  and the same can be produced in a couple of hours. If an attorney is willing to extract information along with the headline of particular paragraph, two columns or three columns would be the preferred choice. As in formats, page and line wise summarization along with the headline of paragraphs is done. But if an attorney is more interested to dig out information of some designated topic straightway related to the case and wishes to summarize only specific information; topical summary is what one can go for.

Realizing the importance of a service like  Deposition Summary  and the number of hours spent in summarizing the long depositions, one of the options chosen is to outsource such a service. Many law firms have gained the benefit of saving their time and remaining competitive in market. Onshore and offshore vendors do offer free sample or free trial work which may help as a deciding factor for those who are still on the edge of leaving the traditional ways of practice and adopting a new path.  It would not only help attorneys to be more focused towards their case and preparing for trial, but also it will diminish their cost to a larger extent.
