## Resource

Timing is one of the most underused tools in deposition practice. This program shows trial lawyers how to use the seven-hour rule, the order of depositions, and the pacing within each session to gain strategic advantage. From "jack-rabbiting" through testimony to knowing when to slow down and ask for more time to prepare, attendees will learn how the right deposition at the right time can shape the outcome of a trial — or drive a favorable settlement. The program also covers the rules that govern when, and how, courts will limit deposition questioning, and the consequences when deposition limits are exceeded or violated. By the end of the hour, participants will have a working framework for deciding which deposition to take first, how long it should run, and how to respond when opposing counsel pushes the rules. Taught by Pavel Kolmogorov, Michael J. Carrozzo, and Henry Nikogosyan, Kolmogorov Law, the program is designed for litigators who want a practical, rule-based approach to deposition strategy.
