Скачать или смотреть Taking a deposition of a defense economist ⚖️

In 25+ years as a trial lawyer I’ve learned that, when taking the deposition of a defense expert, don’t hesitate to ask for a ballpark figure of their earnings from similar cases. Why? Their memory suddenly gets cloudy and they say things that aren’t accurate.

💡 Pro Tip: Cite Evidence code sec. 770, Allen v. Superior Court, (1984) 151 Cal.App.3d 447 and Stony Brook I HOA (2000) 84 Cal. App. 4th 693 to support your questioning. These cases highlight the importance of financial transparency when assessing expert testimony credibility.

This can bring clarity to the economist’s potential incentives and help you build a stronger argument. You bet I’m going to ask these questions again at trial ⚖️ Come on now!
