A deposition is a formal statement made under oath by a witness or party in a legal case, typically recorded for use in court proceedings. It is a critical part of the discovery process in civil and criminal litigation. During a deposition, a witness answers questions posed by an attorney, and the testimony is preserved through audio, video, or written transcript.
Depositions are often used:
To gather sworn testimony from witnesses before trial
To evaluate the credibility of a party or witness
To preserve evidence when a witness may not be available later
As admissible evidence in pretrial motions or hearings
