On Friday, October 11, the North Carolina Bar Association presented a continuing legal education seminar entitled “Beyond the Basics: Taking, Defending and Using Depositions.” The program was planned by attorneys from Smith Moore Leatherwood, LLP, McGuire Wood & Bissette, PA, and Leto Copeley, who served as moderator. Attendees received the latest advice on deposition tactics from some of the top litigators in North Carolina, who came from cities across the state to teach their peers. Sometimes a lawyers’ case is won or lost at a deposition, so what happens there can’t be taken lightly.
