Common deposition objections by Attorney Steve®

Depositions are a necessary legal process for gathering information, but common deposition objections can sometimes complicate the process. Three of the most common objections are irrelevant, vague, and calls for a legal conclusion. Irrelevant objections include evidence or questions that do not directly relate to the matter discussed in the deposition. Vague objections relate to questions or evidence that are incomprehensible or ambiguous. The third objection is when a question calls for a legal conclusion from either party--neither party can give such an answer as they lack qualified legal authority. As long as attorneys understand what constitutes a valid objection during depositions, they can help ensure that their client's rights are properly respected throughout the process.
