hoapres Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 You are probably correct that only the deponent along with parties and counsel are the only persons with the legal right to attend the deposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recovering Attorney Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 very rarely is there anyone else in the room besides the lawyers, the reporter and the deponent. I never had my client in the room nor would I allow the other side in the room, for fear of either a disturbance or the situation where a party would manufacture testimony to meet the deponent's version.
