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.

You should be a professor my man, loved the visual aids and enthusiasm. Preparing for my first ever deposition for a clinic and you cleared a lot up.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Hope it goes well. In a way, I feel like I am an "online law professor," and I can reach way more people than I could in a traditional law school setting. All the best, Steve

Why do lawyers ask questions that violate these 10 legal objection? Are they just trying to cheat the process?

Well, I don't think they do it consciously, but if the other lawyer doesn't think to object, then it can slip in. SV

@attorneysteve can it be to intentionally destabilize a witness? After a few hours of pesky violations, the witness gets sloppy answers get longer and not well articulated.
I'm confused as to where you are making speaking objections in a depo?

If you object, why would you then "typically answer the question?"

Generally speaking, you are preserving the objection for trial. Unless your attorney instructs a witness NOT to answer, they must answer. SV
