How do I transcribe a Statement on the Record that was given before a deposition began?
 |
Asked by nw85 {129}
7/10/2012 8:28:21 PM I took down a deposition the other day, but one of the lawyers requested that he be able to put a statement on the record before the deposition started. How would I transcribe that? Would I start the transcript like it would be a deposition and just enter the statement on the record before I start the Q&A section of the transcript?
I hope my question makes sense! I'm confused.

Yes, put the attorney's statement first, then put in your blurb when you swear the witness in, then your examination by so-and-so, so basically the deposition starts right after the statement. Does that make sense? |

Agree, statement first in colloquy and then Q&A. Stuff like this is done often. Many times attorneys will discuss something off the record, then one of them will want to put a blurb about that discussion on the record before the Q&A begins. |

 | Ruth Rogers Perez Exactly. Put the statement on the record and then start the examination. Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Melissa Osipczuk I would do colloquy with the statement. Then do your sworn in part followed by the regular Q & A when the deposition starts. Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Jessie Coburn What Melissa said and then in Table of Contents, I would list: Statement on Record by Joe Blow (prior to deposition) Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Cindy Wells I would put the statement in colloquy first since it was before the deponent was sworn in and then put in the sworn blurb and then start the deposition with Q & A. Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Cindy Boedigheimer Putting it in the table of contents isn`t necessary. Attorneys make statements on the record all the time. Our T of C would be pages long if we listed them all :-) Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Virginia Groeneveld Yeah, what both Cindys said Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Karen Ray I`d go with both Cindys as well. Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
 | Deborah Perham The only other thing I would mention is, some agencies require that the swear-in and the first two questions (State your name/address) not be separated by a page break. So if it turns out that there`s a page break between them because of the length of the statement, put a page break after the statement in order to keep swear-in and first two Qs together. (It`s hard to describe.) Does anyone else practice that style? Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | |
| Cindy Boedigheimer Deborah, that sounds like something from the dinosaur age. How can you plan out a tript to keep all that together? The Q`s of name and address half the time don`t even come as the first questions. I have found that the instructions come first, which could be pages, and then the name and address follow.

| Deborah Perham Hi Cindy. In the NY area, it is standard that the first two questions be name and address, before any other word is uttered. I used to preface my posts with in the NY area but then I stopped. Guess I should start doing it again. From my understanding, NY attorneys like it set up like that... they open to the swear-in page to see the witness` address without having to look through pages to find it. Of course they can just look in their file, but many prefer it right on Page 4 (Pg 1 Caption Thursday, July 12, 2012 | |
