I finally understood what was taught here, though it took a couple replays.

It's not a matter of which questions you can't afford to ask. Instead, it's all about the questions which you can't afford to not ask.

Learn everything that you can from the witness or doctor. It doesn't matter whether asking is going to hurt your client or help. What matters is getting all the details, all the facts, *everything*. Why? 0:51 - 1:22.

@RdTrler You want to know everything, both good and bad prior to trial. You must know your strengths and weaknesses.

If a woman was a big fat pig and she lost her voice dont ask her if she was disgruntled.

@46Mongoose Now that is funny.

gerry, thanks so much for providing the single most cliche law/news audio intro ever recorded. although i stopped watching immediately after it's finish, i'm certain what you had to say was at least as impressive. all the best.

@zazfilm You're welcome! If you noticed, I created this video 3 1/2 yrs ago. There wasn't much great intro music available back then. If you'd like to recommend a resource to my viewers about where they can get quality intro music, that would be helpful.

I would say "are you a moron?" is a question you shouldn't ask at a deposition. I was taking a deposition once and an attorney asked that of a witness and the witness threw his coffee mug at the attorney.

Best deposition ever!

This has helped prepare me for when I get my J.D. far more so than law school. Future topics could be "Facts: Do you REALLY need to know them?" or "Is It OK to Call the Judge a Crack Whore In Open Court?"

@lawmed1 hi again, gerry. as a matter of fact, i hadn't noticed that you created this video 3 1/2 years ago. there is such a timeless quality to the intro that one can't tell if it was filmed today or in 1985.
