Deposition (law) (517 words) |
 | The person to be deposed (questioned), known as the deponent, is usually notified to appear at the appropriate time and place by means of a subpoena. |
| A court reporter[?], also known as a stenographic reporter[?] (sometimes denoted "CSR" for Certified Stenographic Reporter) is present and begins the proceedings by administering the same oath that the deponent would take if the testimony were being given in court. |
| Sometimes, after a number of witnesses have been deposed, the parties will have enough information that they can reasonably predict the outcome of a prospective trial, and may decide to arrive at a compromise settlement[?], thus avoiding trial and preventing additional costs of litigation. |
