What are Deposition Summaries?

Deposition summaries are one of the most powerful litigation tools; however, they are often an afterthought, leading to the litigation team spending needless hours searching for important testimony and documents. Deposition summaries are the backbone for a successful motion practice, in preparing for upcoming depositions and direct and cross examinations of witnesses at trial. Deposition summaries are integral to the entire litigation process, from discovery to motion practice and at trial.

According to the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 32, Court Comment stated in effect that reading discovery transcripts can be tedious for the jury and reduces the comprehension level and attention span of the jurors. Summarizing is an effective means of informing the jury in an understandable and abbreviated structure. Therefore, the court encourages and/or requires all parties to agree upon a concise outline of the transcript. Also, Federal Rule of Evidence 1006, encourages discovery summations that cannot be examined in court expediently.
