How Many Objections are Made Throughout a Deposition?

During a deposition, lawyers typically expect some objections to be made. Objections are often made for things like leading, hearsay, and other evidentiary issues. Younger, inexperienced lawyers and lawyers defending a strong case by their opponent tend to object a lot for very little reason. When lawyers are asking legitimate questions about how an incident happened, such as where everyone was or who else saw it, most lawyers will not object. When an attorney repeatedly objects to the most mundane and matter-of-fact questions, an experienced lawyer can use the objections at trial to make their opponent look like he is attempting to hide relevant evidence from the jury.

Establishing Privilege

Establishing privileges is often the main thing lawyers are concerned about during depositions. Privileges are essential because the law sets out boundaries for a reason so that clients can feel good about talking to their lawyer. That is why there is the attorney-client privilege, and that privilege can only be waived if the client wants to waive it. However, there are some exceptions to the law. For example, if a client is attempting to commit a crime or something along those lines, the privileges do not apply.

Otherwise, a client needs to be able to tell their attorney everything about the claim and about anything else that could impact the claim.  It is important for a lawyer to be able to get as much information as possible so they can really represent the client and help them achieve their goals or at least let them understand why their goals are unachievable. If a client is sharing with information, a lawyer should tell the client that the information will affect their claim without any of the contents of those conversations that coming up in a deposition.
