Remote Depositions

Our WorldwideConnect® solution has no additional cost.

If the reporter is not with the witness, a stipulation on the record may be required regarding the reporter’s ability to swear in the witness. Some states may have specific requirements about the administration of the oath when not present with the witness. We can help you find out that information. 

Either the attorney or the court reporter can present them, but it is our suggestion that the attorney presents the exhibits because they are familiar with the exhibits. It is difficult for the court reporter to take the deposition and also scroll through and share the exhibits. It saves a lot of time and frustration if the attorney shares them. Another option is to have a WorldwideConnect® specialist assist with presenting the exhibits. Worldwide Litigation has this option available and would assign a technician to monitor the entire deposition process to ensure that everything runs smoothly. There is no extra fee for this service if a videographer is also scheduled for the deposition.

Paralegals can share exhibits and we offer training so that they are comfortable with the process. This can help streamline the process and make the deposition run more smoothly.

Breakout rooms are very similar to an attorney and witness leaving the deposition to go into a separate room to talk. The host, WorldwideConnect® specialist or the court reporter would assign a breakout room for specific people. They would then be in a separate room to privately communicate. The rest of the people in the depo will not be able to hear or see them. The host can also set a timer on the breakout room. Once the timer is up, they are back in the depo with everyone else.

An internet connection and computer, smartphone, or tablet. You will need to ensure there is a microphone and webcam. 

The higher the speed, the better.  You will need at least a 1.5 Mb connection for video. If you’re using a cell phone, you’ll need to be connected to wifi or have at least a 4G connection.

Yes, at an additional fee. All of our legal videographers are WorldwideConnect® techs and are able to troubleshoot, officiate on and off the record, sync the video with the transcript, and more.

Easy!  Interpreters are invited to join the meeting, like any other participant.  They are able to provide the same service that they otherwise would from their home or office. 

If the deponent doesn’t have the proper equipment, we offer our JetPack service, providing everything needed for a remote deposition: an iPad, charger, stand, and microphone! Simply ensure internet access, and you’re ready to go. Please contact us for more information.
